White Sox win!

I've never been a big baseball fan. I rarily watch games during the regular season and have only attended one pro game - an exhibition game between the Padres and the Marineers. But, I enjoy watching the playoffs. And this year was a great one to be an October fan.

At the beginning of the World Series I countered Mike's prediction over at The Big Board of the Sox in 7 games with a prediction that they'd win in 6 games. But, they surpassed both of our predictions to win in a four game sweep on the Astros.

And how about that Sox rookie closer Bobbly Jenks? What a fairy tale ride he has been on! He began this season playing in the minor leagues for a AA team in Birmingham. He ended the season on the pitcher's mound as his team won the World Series.

I know that Bobby Jenks' 6'3" doesn't quite match up to Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson's 6'10". But, what he lacks in height he makes up for in girth at a whopping 270lbs. What I'm trying to say is that I think Jenks should be redubbed "The Big Unit." With that girth and the consistent 100 mph pitches it's seems a very apt description.
