Sweet Home. Game Four.




White Sox Slide into 2005 World Series

The last time the White Sox were in the World Series was 1959. It had been 40 years since their previous appearance, and that one ended with the 1919 White Sox switching hosiery to become the Black Sox with several players fixing games against the Cincinnati Reds. So on the night that the White Sox clinched the pennant in 1959, the Chicago fire chief joyously issued an order to have all the air-raid sirens turned on full blast. Sirens

The problem was that no one else in the city was alerted to this. It scared people out of their wits, and they ran into the streets screaming, believing that the Martians were attacking. Or worse, one of the street gangs.

Southsider Barack on the mound. Articulate, clean, and good looking but pigeon toed.



The ball! Don't forget the ball!



Astros: All hat and no horse.


You can't lose with Clark Kent.



Ozzie says "Bring in the short guy"



For the final out the Astro fans politely get out of the way. Trying to save their beer. Not like Chicago fans who like to be more involved ala Bartman.


Looks like Stevie moved to Houston.


No love lost
