Well it's official: Chicago and Houston will face off in the ultimate championship series in sports for the first time in history of all four major sports. With the Astros' win yesterday, there will be some bragging rights within parts of my family (my grandpa lives in Houston) for claims to the baseball title. I recall during the Bulls' title run of 6 in 8 years how good the Rockets were (they won 2 in a row in between the two 3-peats), yet the two teams never faced in the Finals. Back then I actually liked the Rockets. We had Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, et al. They countered with Hakeem Olajuwon, Robert Horry, Sam Cassell, et al. It would've been the perfect series, with the Bulls winning of course.
This isn't quite the same, as a Cubs fan who isn't much of a fan of the Astros as much as the Rockets, but hey, neither team has gone to the World Series in 46 years. (The Astros didn't even exist in 1959.) It should be fun. And I still hope the White Sox win it. After all, they are a Chicago team, too.
