World Champions!
It was a long time coming, but the Sox finally broke the baseball curse afflicting this city. Congratulations to the team that led the league since day one of the season and topped it off with a World Series Championship. Use this open thread for the remainder of the night and early Thursday as we will most likely be celebrating into the wee hours.Any stories about riots or arrests can be tossed in here, too. What an amazing run.
UPDATE: Jermaine Dye MVP for the Series

NORTHSIDER KISS MY SOUTHSIDE ASS
SOX WON MORE GAMES IN PLAYOFFS THEN CUBS DID ALL RUN --- DUSTY U STINK
Leave it to the police to turn something good into something bad; something we truly do well.
Revel in their win you mean spirited jag bag.
Shit,
Now I gotta listen to all these SOX fans gloat for an entire stinkin' year.
GO CUBS!!!!
p.s. I am obligated to say the following: Congrats to the (choke, gasp, wheeze) World Champion (this is almost unbearable) White (I don't think I can finish) Sox.
p.p.s. WAITING FOR NEXT YEAR!!!!
hope you enjoy the rioting and looting associated with your hillbilly fans. GO WHITE SUX. hopefully your manager takes an english course in the offseason.
Make sure you southsiders don't venture to the other side of the viaducts in your drunken stooper tonite. Stay on your little shity islands that you call home.
Sarcasm and silliness...
The end must be near. Huricanes, global warming and now Hell Freezes over. At least I can die happy.
Someone posted a cool post when they won the ALCS about remebering those who played catch with us, cheered us on in little league and gave us money to buy rubber balls and whiffle balls at the drug store. A lot of them have passed on and missed this. God Bless Them, I hope they have good reception in heaven. Or maybe this is heaven.
This is too cool. Too unbelievable.
Who wouda thunk back in April we would be here tonight? This makes up for all those dog days of August in years past at a half empty, heck, three quarters empty Comiskey Park.
This is so fabulous. I almost can't believe its true - World Champions. Is this a drunken dream? What a super series - what great ball, what an unbelievable ride. Could anyone have scripted this in their wildest dreams? Thank you, thank you thank you. This was worth the wait. And man, am I glad I had the night off.
Doesn't it still suck that the White Sox kicked ass, sweeped the Astros in the World Series but they are still a 2nd rate team in Chicago next to the Cubs. Maybe it has something to do with the 2nd rate fans.
Hey 12:14 World Champions
Sorry I meant 12:23
WOO HOO!!! WOO HOO!!! WOO HOO!!!
wait....I just pee'd my pants
Phony CUB FANS.. Northside, Yupppie, Starbucks drinking, sandal wearing, Boys-town (HOMO-FAGS) no nothing baseball fans..
I AM PROUD TO BE WHITE SOX FAN TODAY!!!!!

Obviously you don't remember the Michigans Alums acting the fool in Cewing Gum-Ville after the goat bit Alou's ass. Good luck with your Big Ten friends.
not a phony Cubs fan......
just sad.....
like a real Cubs fan would feel!
just got schooled about life!
to the victor go the spoils.
wait til next year used to sound cute and resolute. now...well now it's just an hysterical and ridiculous statement of what a Cubs fan life has been!!!
Thanks Sox! You are a miserable representation of winning something your neighbor didn't and couldn't win. Rub it in our faces. Rub it really well.
You made it!
The vengeance will invigorate itself towards a new and unprecedented hatred and loathing of what the White Sox were, are and will become.
To the victors the spoils...but remember this:
VICTUS FUGIT!!!
VICTUS FUGIT!!!
Enjoy...for this too shall pass.
Ursum Romanus.
Maybe now that they've won a world series, some of you so called "fans" will show up to the games. the Sox were the best team in the league by far, and as of august they were drawing about 18,000 in attendance. sad........
NOW WHAT CAN WE DO FOR THE CUBS AND BLACKHAWKS? WILL IT HAPPEN IN OUR LIFETIMES?
I'M HAPPY TO SEE BEARS, BULLS AND SOX DO IT! 2 MORE AND WERE GOOD!
What do grizzly bears on the pill and the World Series have in common?
- NO CUBS
No one will care next week. Haha!
No one cares tonight
to all you hardcore sox fans....
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
All quiet on the South Side, no riots, no problems. Homeless guy tried to disarm a P/O at (95th st. el station?), before midnight but that was unrelated to the celebration. Lots of folks celebrating on the streets but no big problems._
Go White Sox!!! I like the Cubs too, but all Cubs fans that are alive now will be dead and they still won't be World Series Champs.
Keep waiting til next year! and the next year! and the next year! and the next year! I think you jealous Cubs fans get the point.
And I don't even watch that much baseball, but I know that the Cubs will never win in our life time. Somebody let Dusty Ass Baker know the truth.
All I hear are crickets chirping.
Now that the Sox's won. Maybe the 009th District cops can get some COMP TIME. Stay away from the 3rd watch in 9! No Comp time , no time on the front and no time on the end!!!!!!!!
I was in 009 in 1987 for about 10 yrs. & had a blast-A great bunch of bosses & P.O.'s. Now I've heard that it's NOT the place to be. Too bad...
What a great game!
In regards to:

Then make the WC sign the slip that he denied the time and then send it to the FOP. Remember the lawsuit that FOP has in regards to comp time? Well, regardless if you signed on to it or not, all the bosses were put on the lawsuit. If you asked them to sign the slip that they are dening the time they will get the hint and do not to be wrapped up in the lawsuit anymore than they already are.
"Wrigley Field" The world's largest gay bar.
HA HA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LETS GO WHITE SOX !!!!!!!!!
LETS GO WHITE SOX !!!!!!!!!
While we're talking about 009 ... realy is a JOKE! Building falling apart, bathrooms dont work, place smells like shit all the time, computers are always broke, and its getting real bad on 3rd watch. Even guys with World Series tickets got denied time due, and p-days. DONT COME TO 009 TO WORK 3rd WATCH!!!
009 third watch the captin is a jagoff political Hack. and about as useless as tits on a bull. everthing goes to 002 now we need a watch commander and desk crew? why? we are 002 west the city has basicly shut down 009 without telling anyone.
Where to start? I was so excited last night after the White Sox Won the World Series I went outside my Mt. Greenwood house and I could hear air raid sirens, (I assume they came from Evergreen Park)fireworks and car horns. I told my kids "lets go for a ride". We drove around Mt. Greenwood and Beverly and watched all the fans on Western and 111th St. I think of my buddies who are Cub fans who can never understand the hatred that many Sox fans feel towards the Cubs. I for one dont hate them, I have evolved to being indifferent. That being said I cant help but to ask my fellow Sox fans to be proud and be happy. This may never happen again or it could become routine (we can always dream) or the Cubs mgiht win in our lifetime. I get tired of the Sox fan who chooses to celabrate by mentioning some idiotic remark about the Cubs. WHO CARES!!!! We Won! Stay on track. And those Cub fans who want to group all Sox fans in with The Ligue father and son combo, I personally know John Murray the Chicago Board of Trade Member/Oak Brook native/Cub season ticket holder who attacked a Cub pitcher on the field for giving up a hit. The Ligue's are white trash and Murray is a privledged rich boy and they had nothing in common except being wayyyy overserved. So try and remember nobody has a lock on idiot fans as proven by a few post on this blog by both sides.
Midnights in 009 is still good. 3rd watch bosses suck. Day Capt is cool too.
To 11:59
You really need to get some counselling for your homophobic fears. Have you ever been in a gay bar ? You really need to stop hating and redirect that energy into doing something other than blogging here. I am sure you were picked on as a child and sucked your thumb until you were well into your 20s. I am a heterosexual and am sick and tired of hearing some people always making gay references to the fans who grace the doors of Wrigley Field. when you type stupid posts such as yours you make all sox fans look stupid. I am a sox fan and dont appreciate your hatred that reflects badly on sox fans. get your counselling and have mommy stop breast feeding you and I am sure maybe someday you might amount to something.
then again maybe not..you idiot
whats the story with these guys assigned to the marshalls office. Are they detectives, how does someone get in the unit? I saw no bids for this new unit, who are these people? Are these officers Shackman appointees, Cline says they all voluntered. I would like to volunteer, 17 years on job, workin tact for 12.
Go White Sox
You could almost say the Cubs are "fair weather" fans since their team never makes it to the Fall Classic.
Interesting about the 18,000 avg attendance SOX fans and over 30,000 avg attendance CUBS fans. The SOX fans were there enjoying Baseball and the CUBS fans just there to party. WELL LOOK WHO'S PARTYING NOW.......GO-GO WHITE SOX.
But don't feel bad, after all I am a fair-weather Cub fan too.
Who is the W/C in 009 on 3rd watch? Is he/she the only goof or does it extend to the other bosses as well?
Oh yea. 11:54, how do you get the W/C to sign anything he doesn't want to sign? Do you give him a direct order and then get a CR if he refuses? Some of you guys are amazing. Keyboard kommandoes at their best!

Hope you enjoy your annual Gay Parade on Halsted and Addison, in Wrigleyville, only excitement. gay parade contains typical Cubs either spitters or chokers. Lets see what your managre did last 3 years. Choked in playoffds, choked and missed Wild card, not even close this year.
Cubs fans give it up, the Brewers even finished ahead of you.
I AM HAPPY THAT A CHAMPIONSHIP WAS WON. TO BAD IT WAS THE WRONG TEAM!!!
i am southside born and raised and presiding, I grew up on the cubs and wgn i never hated the sox and went to comiskey many times. I am happy for the dominance the sox showed in the playoffs. Its a shame that sox fans are still talking about the cubs, I think you beat the astros not the cubs.
Be a good sport, like the godd sportsman veterns on the astros and enojoy it without acting like losers!
For some reason Cub fans believe that attendance = good ball club.
If this is the case, the Cubs should have 5 - 10 World Series titles. As this is not the case then there must be another explanation for the lack of titles. Maybe, the large media company that owns the Cubs sees a fan base with little baseball knowledge and a party mentality. This permits the Cubs to field a team that at times entertains but does not win titles.
If Wrigley Field ever goes the way of the Dodo, then you will see the fan base fall faster then Enron stock. That is why the Cubs patch and expand Wrigley, rather then replace it. There is no land on the north side to build a retro-replacement stadium.
If they built in the burbs they would lose the big ten types that live close by.
This would leave families to fill the void and this in turn would require a winner to draw the families regularly.
So, to all of you Cub fans that believe you live on the mountain. I think the Cubs have to equal or beat the following to be in the same league as the Sox.
1) Go wire to wire in the regular season in first place.
2) Lose no more than one game in the playoffs.
Oh yea! Win the World Series, and sweep it.
When these conditions are met give us a call.
Until then...wait till next year!
By the way, I like the Cubs too, until they play the Sox.
Has anything been burnt down or looted as a result of the Sox winning the World Series?
The Westcide in flames. Drive-by's galore. Raping Pillaging and plundering. I can't wait for another riot by those evil Sox fans.
Oh wait I'm sorry wrong team. Go Bulls!
Damn! Parade tomorrow! Follow the link.

Northside or Southside you can all KMA! Im happy a "Chicago" team won!
The Pipes and Drums of the Chicago Police Department will be leading this parade...
I'm a Sox fan, but good sportsmanship is good sportsmanship. If I get a chance to see the Astros play the Cubs next year (do they even play each other?), I'll go if I'm likely to see Pettit pitch.
As for the Sox, my police family and I have a pact. Anybody I ever see acting in a way that will give us true Chicagoans a bad name the way the father-n-son junkies (from the 'burbs) and the Dr. (likely from the burbs, huh?... and why won't the papers name-n-shame this guy???), there gonna have ole anonymous me and/or my policing family pouncing on their ass faster than you can say "southside civility!!!".
Hell, they oughta give 100 PO Sox fans tickets for every game if they promise to do such pouncing. Batter an opposing player's wife? Pounce. Run out on the field and assault an elderly coach or umpire? Aww hell, a mere pounce and cauliflower ears would be too good for em. WEAPONS FREE on the suburbanite junkies giving me and mine a bad name.
Is there a run-on sentence up there?
I heard that the reason the Astros lost is because the Cubs Fans were rooting for them. They even jinx the team their rooting for.
I worked in 009, thank God im gone. Third watch has some bad boss's They hang the coppers out to dry!!
I also heard that they split up some of the hardest working partners and ordered them to work with PPO's and Recruits!!
To 6:32 thats hittin below the belt!
the sgt's in 009/3rd are good but the capt and lt are garbage
you can tell that they have never been the cops
Never been a Cub fan, never will. I sit back and read/listen to all of the Cubs vs. Sox attendance remarks year after year, and can't believe these "true" Cub fans haven't figured it out...stop going to the game in numbers (or cut down on the damn business meetings at the park), and maybe...just maybe....the team will spend some money and field a competitive team! What incentive does the management have to spend the money to win, when they sell the park out every game anyway?
I remember going to old Cominskey Park in the 70's sitting in the bleecher seats with the support beam partially blocking the view to third base and dreaming of a season like this one.(Talk about dreams coming true!!)Being South Side born and bred,I am of course a diehard Sox fan.But being a Chicagoan,I'm also a Cubs fan.(As long as they're not playing the Sox!)And if and when they play and win a World Series, I'll root just as hard,And cheer just as loud.(As long as they're not playing the Sox!!)
can speak for the 3rd watch but 009th district on 1st watch is still a good place to work.
can't speak for the 3rd watch but 1st watch in 009 is still a good place to work.
Watched Sun Times columnist Rich Roeper being interviewed at Harry Careys. He was little drunk and his "gayness" was sneaking out.
"This is Fabulous!"
Didnt realize he rode the hershey highway.
"Not that there's anything wrong with that..."
The red headed bitch desk sgt on afternoon really sucks cock! And some of the guys on midnights are really hard-on's with giant ego problems.
