Rack 'em up
Oh how I would enjoy this: The White Sox have a two to nothing lead in their playoff series, and the way the media here is talking, you should already be buying your World Series tickets. Don't they know any better? The Sox are being set for a magnificent fall.
First of all, this is Chicago. Things do not go right for Chicago baseball teams. The last time a Chicago ball club was in the playoffs, they had a 3-1 lead in the championship series, were 8 outs from a World Series appearance, but fate intervened in the form of a headphone wearing spectator. Last year, the Red Sox were two outs away from elimination, but came back. Then they won three more in a row to defeat the Yankees, 4 games to 3. Years before that, Boston engineered many other comebacks when they were down 2-0 in the division series. But the Sox are walking along without a care in the world, despite the evidence they still have plenty left to worry about.
My point: it seems that certain Sox fans are suffering from that age-old malady: hubris. It befell Oedipus, and MacBeth, and other people I don't feel like looking up. I pray to God they get nailed for it.

Watch what you say about the headphone wearing fan. He was my brother's college roomate at ND, and is a wonderful guy. People that blame him make me sick cuz they clearly didn't watch the game. They didn't see all the other opportunities the Cubs had to win it... The Cubs lost that game, not the head phone wearing fan!
