Go Go White Sox

Never has it been said better than when a friend of mine explained baseball in the Windy City as "Man baseball in Chicago, its like religion there." Nick, you were right on and this year that sentiment rings so true. The White Sox are coming off a dreadful season last. The north side's Cubs are on the verge of 100 years without a World Series victory therefore every sports media outlet is reading into this year way too much. Top it all off with the fact that both teams are in 1st in their respective divisions. If this keeps up there will be no living here come the end of June when the Crosstown Classic is in full swing.

Needless to say I caught the Sox and Indians last night along with some 38thousand other people for and unprecedented near sellout crowd on a Wednesday night at US Cellular Field. It was a great game with lots of fireworks which happens when the Sox go yard with a homerun. It was a perfect night for baseball in a truly awesome ballpark. There is no possible way 6 people could buy as many tickets at the gate, day of game over at Wrigley and sit together it would never happen.

Known as The Cell to some, others still call it Comiskey, and more simply call it Sox Park.

Grounds Crew hard at work.
