Passing the Torch

And there it is, folks.  Congratulations to the 2005 Chicago White Sox, the Champions of Baseball.

Now we know who we're shooting for in 2006.

I'm sorry, I can't let this go without comment.  How in God's name can we actually be saying that 'Sha Na Na, Goodbye' is the White Sox 'signature song'?  This is a song that is played in every single sports venue in the English-speaking world.  I mean, come on now.  That's just silly.

3 - I thought the White Sox song was Don't Stop Believing by Journey?

But yeah, that is kind of lame the way they sing that. Personally I despise just about all the Jock Rock songs. In fact, the single most annoying thing about going to a Giants game with my wife is that when they play those assinine songs like "are you ready for this" "Hey Ho, Lets go" or "nananananan, nanana" (which I think is called the hey song), my wife will actually do a mini-dance in her seat and actually clap. And in ANA these songs are accompanied by the flashing scoreboard saying to cheer. and then to cheer lounder.

Actually that is probably the third most annoying thing behind expensive beer and most giants fans. (Comment this)

4 - Because- as sad as it makes a Cubs fan like me to admit that they deserve credit for anything- the White Sox used it first. (Comment this)
