88 years of frustration swept away

Here's a great column by Chicago Sun-Times sports writer Rick Telander. An excerpt:

"It's not my fault my team is winning so quick,'' a grinning Ozzie Guillen said Wednesday night before Game 4.

No, it's not.

But it is his fault his 2005 team has made Chicago history.

Sox 1, Astros 0!

After the World Series-winning game, Ozzie's players were giddy with what their boss had led them to.

"Everyone was included,'' the usually taciturn Carl Everett said. "Not one guy was left out! We played the way a team should play.''

Now 1917 means nothing because of manager Guillen, the unlikely, fast-twitch, "I-never-lie-to-the-media/I-never-lie-to-the-fans'' White Sox manager.

Guillen, of course, is the former All-Star shortstop from Venezuela who couldn't stop talking if you borrowed cork from Sammy Sosa's stash and jammed it in Oz's mouth.

OK, cheap shot at the Cubs.
