Go Sox!
We have had to switch our baseball team allegiance for the time being. We usually support the Cubs, as they are based on the north side of Chicago, like us, and pretty much everyone around here supports them, but the White Sox, who are based on South side of Chicago, just won their league last weekend, and so are through to the World Series. Basically there are 2 baseball leagues, the American and the National, (even though those are the same thing!), and the Sox and Cubs are in opposing leagues. The winners of each league each year go on to play against each other in the World Series, (which is only American teams again!). The World Series is a best of 7 games. Their opponents for this will be the Houston Astros.The Cubs got knocked out of their league ages ago, and this is the first time any Chicago team has made it to the World Series since 1959, so this is a huge thing for everyone round here, no matter which team you normally support. Now we are all one, rooting for Chicago.
Their first game is this Saturday, and the tickets have already sold out. They went on sale Tuesday and sold out in 18 minutes. They will play almost every evening over the following week, until someone has won four games.
So we are hosting a game party here Saturday night, then will watch some of the games in a local sports bar.
