I am rooting for the White Sox. To the extent that I root for anyone at all. 4 reasons:
1. They are one of the original teams in baseball, so it is unlikely they will ever be forced into teal and mauve uniforms after some fit by the league that all the team uniforms are overly similar.
2. Their curse is a more compelling story that the curse of the Bambino ever was in my book.
3. I have yet to meet an annoying White Sox fan. I don't doubt that there are some, but clearly not in the quantities of annoying Yankees and/or Red Sox fans. Heck, Chicagians don't even rank in the top 3 for grating accents, so they start out at a annoying scale disadvantage.
4. Coltrane. When the White Sox are winning, I think of Coltrane, Sequels and Coltrane's frat boy friends out on the town, drinking some beer, watching some ball. I like to envision one of my fake internet friends happily watching the game that tends under most circumstances to bore me to tears.
So, for the next week and a half, I'm a White Sox fan. And I'd prefer that they win the thing in 4 games, so that I can return to watching reality tv and the NFL in peace. Thank you.
