Although I'm not a Sox fan, I must admit that it's pretty exciting for the city of Chicago to have a World Series participant.

In addition to their outstanding starting pitching (you heard it right Goombah - 4 straight complete games and in Game 1, Contreras got all but the last 2 outs in a loss), their hitting has been pretty clutch, especially from their 7-8-9 hitters.

Konerko hitting those first inning homeruns were also huge.
