GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Tied at 5 going into the 10th inning.


I am so nervous and excited and pumped! Gonna need a drink to settle me down I think.”

“Sox win in 14 innings...Wow!”

“Yeah, 5 hours and 41 minutes, I heard on the news this morning.

Pretty scrappy team.”

“I could not stand the suspense and went to bed after 12 innings thinking the Astros will surely win this game with all the runners they had on base during the extra innings. Unbelievable.

GO SOXS.”

“Oooo boy. I am tired. I stayed up until the 12th also. Then Jon called me around 1-something I think it was and it was in the 14th. I turned on the tv, but couldn't keep my eyes open and then went to bed. I think the game winning HR was probably hit right after that.


So will it be a sweep?”

“SOX

”

“Wait a minute...Prosecutor stayed up that late????????????? I am shocked!!!! ;)”

“Total hottie Ewker.

I stayed up until a little after midnight, then I fell asleep. When I woke up, the news was on and they had said the sox won in 14. Unbelieveable!!!!!

I have waited for this since my grandfather took me to my first game when I was 5.”

“AHHH... MY EYES... MY EYES!”

“My first MLB game was a White Sox game when I was 11 or so. I don't remember much except the feeling of excitement and the fireworks that went off when a grand slam was hit.”

“What a series!



Oh yeah...we RAWK!!!!”

“World Champions!

I am drunk!”

“I don't know if I am still drunk or just hung over.”

“My vote is for still drunk!”

“I never went to sleep and I lost track of what I drank.”

“Then you are definitely still drunk.

.gnitanicullah eb yam uoy dnA”

“Shoud I report tot eh posting drunk thread?”

“Probably.


Tell me you took the train to work today.”

“Are you even at work today?”

“I took the train to work today”

“Yeah so they may have won. It's just because Houston doesn't have any black players.”

“Ha HA!”

“WOW!!!!!


Just came upstairs from the ticker tape parade. It went down the LaSalle Street "canyon" which is the street my office is on. I brought Tucker with me to work today to experience this mayhem with the tens of thousands of people out there. We had great position right on the parade fence. What an exhilerating experience!!!!

GOOD DAY TO BE IN CHICAGO!!!!”

“We have one of those in Philly every 97 years whether we need one or not.”

“LOL GB!

This was my first ticker tape parade ever. The cop told us they had 10 tons of confetti on top of the buildings at the start of the parade.


Now my problem is that my dep this afternoon is on LaSalle Street at the first building on the north side of the Chicago River. Right now the ceremony is happening on LaSalle and Wacker, on the south side of the river. My normal 6 block walk will take 45 minutes to get around it all.”

“GOOD DAY TO BE IN CHICAGO!!!!”

Unless you're the guy that has to clean everything up afterwards.”

“Oh enjoy it while you can Ruby. The Sox take 88 years. God knows how long the Cubbies will take (less time if they ban Steve Bartman).

We had a team that won more often, but Kansas City stole them from us, and then Oakland stole them from Kansas City.”

“You should see the clean up now out there. They've got rows of snow plows going down the street three wide and then rows of dump trucks following behind them. A while ago all I could hear was the roar of people shouting coming from the ceremony. Now all I can hear is the beep, beep, beep, beep of the trucks.

But even after they clean up the street, there is still lots of paper on every ledge and window sill of every building and on the scaffolds of all the buildings whose facades are being worked on. And inside the buildings all the floors are a wreck from the confetti that is falling off the people. I feel sorry for the cleaning crews of all the LaSalle Street buildings today.”

“Pity them not. They get paid a perfectly miserly pittance to clean it up.”
