And It Didn't Even Last A Year...

One year ago tonight, the Boston Red Sox swept away the St. Louis Cardinals to win their first World Series in 86-years. That was so 364 days ago. Last night in Houston, the Chicago White Sox swept the Astros to win their first Series in 88-years. The ChiSox will not be remembered by many baseball fans in the long run but they certainly should -- they were an exciting blend of dominating pitching, solid defense and timely hitting. If they re-sign Paul Konerko, add one more bat and make a few slight adjustments to their pitching staff, this could be a team in contention for the next 3-5 years. But as for the winner of the 2006 World Series? That must be Chicago's "other" team, the Cubs. Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of the last Cubs championship team of 1906 and they will be sure to sweep the Yankees, Red Sox or Texas Rangers in the '06 Fall Classic.
