As a lifelong White Sox fan, I find it only fitting that the largest word count in the past twenty years from a writer not associated with a Sox blog (like the excellent Sox Machine) or a beat writer comes during this putrid season.
Sports Illustrated, for example, was still swooning over the Red Sox they spent the first few paragraphs of the article on Chicago’s 2005 WS title reminiscing about Boston getting off the snide shortly before.
Peyton and Tom graced the cover of that issue - previewing a MNF matchup. It was the most Dangerfield of moments, I tell ya.
When Rodney’s wife begged, he took her to the kitchen. We fans are past pleading for a trip to the playoffs. We just want the divorce. Some want a funeral, but fear Reinsdorf is eternal.
But hey, 2005 happened, and I have the t-shirt to prove it.
Not much to add. Reinsdorf isn’t the worst owner in sports only because there’s plenty of competition for that distinction. It’s clear that the 2005 championship was a non-replicable confluence of good moves and good luck. (I’ll also throw in that the Bulls might not have won a single championship had Reinsdorf not inherited MJ when he took over the team.)

I was there, too. A great team.
