Casey at the Bat...Chicago Style
The outlook wasn't brilliant for Wrigleyville that day,
The Score was one to zero with one more inning to play.
The White Sox were in the Series, somewhere the Cubs haven't been,
For many a year, exactly two before nineteen ten.
Up came the Astros with a last glimmer of hope,
Trying to extend the series with a last rope a dope.
Lane got on second with one out away,
Looks like the Astros would live to fight another day.
But up from nowhere the shortstop Uribe stood tall,
And with his defensive action he literally grabbed the ball.
Popped out into foul territory the ball would land,
But no Astro Fan could act like Bartman.
The Final out looked like it could be a run,
But here comes Uribe to spoil the fun.
Sox win the series, The World Champs can gloat,
But there is no joy in Wrigleyville...the curse of the goat!
It tears at my every fiber to congratulate the White Sox Fans on a great season and a great Championship run this year. As much as I hate to say it, the White Sox deserve everything that they have gotten this year through their hard work and perserverance. Although, being a Die-hard Cubs fan I can hardly rejoice until the curse of the billy goat has been lifted.
In Chicago's Northside, the chants of "wait till next year" still echo throughout the populace. But, the Sox have proven that next year can be now...so as the Sox Fans and Team celebrate their astonishing victory in the Series...I am left to wonder, when will it be our turn?

You like that the championshiip is coming to Chicago. Admit it.
I will congratulate them on an excellent season. They've earned it. They played well when they had to...and believed when many people didn't. That's about all I have to say about that...
Nicely done ezmezzo and in a poem format too...impressive. You've got to give credit to the Sox even though, as Cubs fans, we're going to hear about it for a long time (especially in the coming year). Maybe 2006 will be the Cubs year (remember that when the sox won the division in 1983, the Cubs came back to win in 1984). Eh? Eh? Ugggghhhhh...
