Chicago White Sox. World Champions

It's been years since I was a serious baseball fan. But I've watched both the pennant series and the world series, and the Sox played the kind of baseball I remember from when I was a kid, stealing, strategy and all around smart ball.

It's great for other reasons too. I love that a team from a Blue city kicked the ass of a team from THE red state. Bonus points that the elder Shrubs were there to see Houston get its ass kicked.

But...one of the most interesting things, something Storm just mentioned....

This Sox are the most kissingest, huggingest team we have ever seen. They hug, they embrace, they laugh, they kiss each other mouth to mouth.

Real men Kiss each other. Yea, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

The best baseball I've seen in twenty years. And I'm not even a Sox fan. But I am an Ozzie (the manager) fan, he won me over completely.
