Curses!

Ozzie imitates the Red Sox in game 2...

Give credit to Jim Litke, though. After all, the Red Sox earned their keep last fall, and the White Sox are due:

A curse is a terrible thing to waste.
The Red Sox milked theirs for 86 years before throwing the Bambino under the bus. The Cubs still run theirs as a profitable little side business. They like to pretend they’ve been jinxed by a billy goat, a black cat, and lately, a guy who picked an inopportune moment to do some souvenir hunting.
The White Sox curse, though, comes with a better back story than either. They didn’t just sell their best player or cross paths with ornery house pets. They threw the 1919 World Series. (more)
