Four-gone conclusion
White Sox sweep Astros for first Series title in 88 years


HOUSTON (AP) -- The Chicago White Sox are World Series champions again at last, and yet another epic streak of futility is not just wiped away but swept away.

After seven scoreless innings, Jermaine Dye singled home the only run in the eighth, and the White Sox beat the Houston Astros 1-0 Wednesday night to win their first title in 88 years.

Just a year ago, the same story line captivated baseball when the long-suffering Boston Red Sox swept St. Louis to capture their first title in 86 years.

Who's next, the Chicago Cubs, without a championship since 1908?

It was the third title for the White Sox, following wins in 1906 and 1917. And it was the first since "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the "Black Sox" threw the 1919 Series against Cincinnati.

In the Windy City, where the Cubs have long been king, Chicago's South Side team for once trumped its North Side rival, no small feat for the Sox.

Owner Jerry Reinsdorf once said he'd trade all six of the Chicago Bulls' NBA titles for a single Series ring, a statement he now regrets. No swap is needed now: He's got the prize he dreamed of since he was a kid growing up in Brooklyn.

Wow, did you guys see that Uribe catch. If only we had fans like those in Houston here in Chicago, the Cubs and the Sox might have World Series rings now. :laughing
 
It's been a long time coming. The whole team is a class act.

I'm a bit pissed about Dye getting MVP - I think it should've gone to Crede or Konerko.
 
he was four out of five in his last abats, including the big hit in the pivital 5th inning in game three. though i think credes should have got it, it could have gone to anyone, there was no clear super star through the series, they all did there parts, that is what made this team all year, that is why they are the world series champs!!!

Wanna give props to the astros for making it a great and nerve racking series
 
Here's to the Champions!

Congratulations, Sox!
 
You can put it on the board.......... YES!

Thank You 2005 World Champion White Sox!

Now that Chicago has a winning baseball team (and the Sox have shown the light) maybe just maybe the other team can see how the Champions do it!

Woo Hoo!!! White Sox are The best of the Best!:2rockin :2rockin
 
I heard on Fox this am that the Astros have already filed a lwsuit against Commissioner Selig for not letting them close the roof

Classy move = sour grapes:laughing :laughing :laughing
