"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ” — Franklin D. Roosevelt

The Champions of the American League - 2005
Photo courtesy of the Chicago Tribune.
I was nine MONTHS old the last time a team from Chicago played in the World Series, when the Sox lost in 6 to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Not living in Chicago allows me the pleasure (and agony) of rooting for both the Cubs and the Sox, but between these two teams it has been like walking on hot coals watching them try, and fail, to get to the Series.
I couldn't watch the game until the 8th inning tonight from sheer nerves, as I remember the Cubs 5th game LCS collapse two years ago. It is only now, an hour after the last out, that I have enough composure to even write this.
I know I owe y'all a couple of posts, but it's just going to have to wait.
Go Sox!

Johnjon, take yourself and your over-handled Johnson out of here. This courageous and long-suffering host needs better responses for his long-distance loyalties than your crude spamming.
thank you sir, I have dispatched him to the wastebin...
From last year's elimination team (or one of its fans), congratulations. You were the best team. Beat that team from W's state! Beat the hades out of them.
