World Series comes to Chicago

Chicagoans have a reason to be excited about the upcoming Fall Classic. Their city hasn't seen the event since 1959. They came awfully close a couple of years ago, but the Cubs managed to blow a 3-1 NLCS lead over the Marlins. Now it looks like the White Sox will be the favorite to win the World Series. How can any team beat them when they're playing like they did these past 4 games? Even when they don't score, they also prevent the other team from scoring. An Astros-White Sox series will be fascinating. I'd love to see how Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens handle the potent Sox lineup. I also want to see how the Astros hitters fare against the Sox rotation. All that's needed is a Houston victory tonight. If they can't pull it off, they'll need to win one game in St. Louis. I like their chances.
