Words can not express the seething fury that bubbles within me... and I am sick to death of all of the golf clapping good sports you see / hear here in the media. I say -fuck- the MLB organization who took away our homefield advantage with opening the roof. Yeah Chi won the first two games fair and square with their homefield advantage.. arctic and then the teams come down here and we get the shaft by having to play in the same sucky cold weather, giving THEM an advantage in our f-ing stadium. I will stop now before I start beating my keyboard like I did my dash while I yelled at the morons on the radio this morning.

Closing the stadium wouldn't have made one iota of difference. Even had they managed to win, the game would've been brought back to Chicago so if it were really a weather advantage that caused the win, Chicago would still have eventually won. The games were too close to suggest that one team had an advantage over another. It wasn't that cold here the days the Sox played...I went out without a coat and with sandals on the one day. The bad weather in Chicago was because of playing in the rain...both teams were at an equal disadvantage. And it must've been like 75 degrees in Houston...that isn't sucky cold weather by a long shot. By this argument Houston should've done more poorly in Chicago and they actually played better here than in their home field. If they had closed the dome and the Sox still won, there would be something else to blame it on. They should've just shut the dome to stop the silly arguments...the Sox have won against world champion teams in a closed dome before...hi2u Skydome and the Blue Jays. It's as silly an argument as that one coach had about the time difference and his players being too tired. This series was just straight out good baseball period.

I agree Gilae. I dont think it would have made any difference. Houston just got beat, plain and simple. I was dissappointed, for true, but what can you do. The Sox were just a better team. They stepped it up when it came down to it. Oh well, maybe my A's will be there next year.

It's especially disappointing that you guys didn't get at least one win in your home stadium though. I was sad for y'all on that front. I was SURE that long game Houston would win. I turned off the tv at the end of the 12th ending cause I couldn't stay up any longer and just knew Chicago would lose.

My boss was really hoping that it would go to game 7 cause he had tickets. I have to go by and razz him about that now actually.

I think you guys should think of it this way...I needed something else to go in my baby's scrapbook!

Ask me how close this is to my office and how messed up it's going to be to get around downtown tomorrow.

Sox victory parade set for Friday

Concerned that many White Sox players may not stick around the weekend for a proposed victory celebration next week, city officials this afternoon said they have moved up the celebration to midday Friday.

Mayor Richard Daley announced the latest plans at a news conference on an unrelated subject at Orr Community Academy High School. More details were to be disclosed at a news conference later this afternoon.

The celebration will begin sometime Friday morning at U.S. Cellular Field at 35th Street and Shields Avenue on the city's South Side, Daley said.

A motorcade carrying players, families and front-office staff of the White Sox will leave from the ballpark. It will wend its way through a number of neighborhoods, including Pilsen, Bridgeport and Chinatown, before ending up in front of the Board of Trade Building at LaSalle and Jackson Streets in the Loop.

There the motorcade will re-form as part of a parade that will head north on LaSalle to Wacker Drive and the Chicago River at the north end of downtown.

There, a victory rally will take place. The event is tentatively scheduled for 11:30 a.m. or noon.

City officials originally planned to hold the event Monday at the Petrillo Music Shell in Grant Park, but learned many Sox players were eager—now that they had wrapped up the World Series in a four-game sweep—to go home to their families.

So, it was uncertain how many Sox would still be around town Monday to take part in the festivities. Also, city crews needed to get Petrillo ready for the event and could not do so by Friday. So, it was moved to LaSalle and Wacker.

The intersection will be closed for the rally, and officials said they were preparing for crowds to extend south along LaSalle.

It was still being worked out early this afternoon exactly how many streets would be closed and what traffic measures would be put in place. Those and other details were to be announced at a City Hall news conference scheduled for this afternoon.
