The victory parade starts in about 30 minutes. As I look out the window of the Board of Trade where it will begin you can see it's gonna be an absolute madhouse. Lots and lots and lots of people are crowding the streets. To the casual observer it would appear this city is 100% behind them and in full support. It already looks like it's gonna be tough for me to get a good spot to watch from.

It's been pretty cool so far. You can see the webcast on MLB.com. Ozzie is on right now. Konerko opening the door for coming back to do it again and giving Reinsdorf the last out ball was pretty emotional for me.

Obviously, a huge part of the crowd are people who work downtown that want to check it out. But it's still pretty cool.
OMG, Steve Perry just came to the podium. They're singing "Don't Stop Believing". |

[/ QUOTE ] I took the 1:30 train home after watching the beginning of the parade from where it started. It was really packed and emotional. But that 1:30 train is usually empty. Today they added 4 extra cars and people where still jammed in the aisles and vestibules. Lots of people made a special trip. |
