for the second year in a row, a SOX team has risen into baseball infamy!
Ladies & Gentleman – I present the World Champion
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
*** Socks Yarn Extravaganza ***
CHELEE! Come on DOWN!!!
In what was even more nerve wracking than a 5 hit inning, the last game of the World Series between the Chicago White Sox and the Houston Astros, like the night before, dragged ON & ON & ON! Luckily for me, I’d decided the SOX needed More Good Luck than what the gnarly hat I was wearing vibed so I broke out the big guns…
Grabbing some forgotten stashed Black & White Regia, I started a Victory Sock in Inning One. What you see here on Missy Monkey’s Head is the entire game’s worth, knitting as fast as I could because I could not bear to watch! Damn, those #1 needles are small…
I leave you this HAPPY MORNING! with
Grinder Baseball Rule #102:
“Crying in Baseball’s OK as long as champagne hurts your eyes!”(as seen on the side of Comisky Park)
Happy Dance! (Even tho I played for but didn’t win your prize!) The Sox (double entendre intended) deserve to win! Chicago deserves to Win! What a party!
Surprising to me (I guessed White Sox, 6-4) as the games leading into the series and prior to this last game were fairly high scoring. As Hub says, “It doesn’t matter if the score is 1-0 or 15-0, they still won.” GO SOX!!!!!!!!
And that’s saying a lot because we’re third generation NYY fans!
Congrats Chelee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should check out my blog (Purls & Pugs) to find out the *real* reason why the Sox won…I had a lightbulb moment this morning and decided that it needed to be published!
However they did it, Yippee!!!! Go Sox!!!
OMG!!! I’m so glad the Sox won!!!
I myself never win a darn thing so WOO HOO Bonne Marie!!!!
I will knit them up and wear them with pride!
Thanks!!!!
Next year is the Cubs turn!
Awwww, I always felt bad about Toronto beating them in the AL championships in 1993, hee. Good on ya, Chicago!!!!
Congratulations. Though I’m not really certain ANYTHING can compare to the Red Sox’ win over the Yankees in the pennant race last year, and the subsequent Championship win, as a Boston Red Sox fan, I understand your joy! My family was rooting for the Astros, so long as the Rocket was healthy, but not to be. I’m still not sure I forgive him for deserting Boston. Enjoy the victory!
