Victory for the other Sox

It must have something to do with being another team associated with the utilitarian foot accessory, and having also not won the series in more than 80 years. The White Sox won the world series last night.

Last year, Ben and I were really into the world series ("Why is it the 'world' series?" he asks. "There aren't any international teams in it!") because it was "his" team, the Red Sox, that won. It was fun, and we carved a pumpkin that said "Go Sox!" and made fast friends with other people in our apartment complex who saw it. So, this year was anticlimactic.
