I know John Rooney’s moved on to the Cardinals, but his signature closing is most appropriate tonight as the White Sox manage to beat the Twins and win the 2008 Central Division Title, 1-0. Amazingly the Sox did it with pitching and defense, not their hallmarks this season.
I was living in Chicago in 2003 and 2005. It’s a great city in general, but a real blast when there are baseball playoffs in town. Every corner bar, and there are still quite a few, is a great place to catch a game. I can’t imagine what the place will be like if both teams go deep in the playoffs.
Dreams of an eLevated series with the Cubs are still alive.
