    That was a disgrace. The Red Sox and Cubs both deserved to break their curses, but, not the White Sox. More recently, the Sux blew-up disco records in center field back in 1980, which started a riot.

    Get OVER it. The scandal happened in 1919! The Disco Demolition Night WAS cool, and there was NO RIOT that I heard about. It tore up some grass in the outfield and the Sox had to forfeit game 2 of a doubleheader, but it WAS cool. Please post any stories you have of a "riot" occurring because of this. And the Disco Demolition Night was in 1979.

    Most people hate teams for literally no reason, like payroll and losses. At least I have cited legitimate infractions.

    The Disco Night caused confusion and many people running around, but by most accounts there was NO violence. A major part of "riots' IS violence. There was NONE at this event, just confusion. Your hating the White Sox for this is QUITE daft and unusual. But it IS your opinion and I respect you for voicing it.

    Almost 40 people got arrested by riot police.

    ANY team that burned disco records can't be that bad!
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    With on under the belt on the road against Houston ace and relief proving it can survive against Houston formidable bats,
    I think we go seven. It's up for grabs.

    Who do you like in the World Series?

    That hot dog vender in the middle tier, behind home plate.

    Wow, this series might be over quickly. Congrats, Nats! I watched part of the game tonight. The Nats looked energetic and hungry for the series win. The Astros looked the complete opposite. I think the Nats just might win the next two games at home and sweep their way to the championship. I'm sure a lot of old Expos fans are thinking why didn't this franchise play like this when it was in Montreal? But don't count the Astros completely out just yet. They did have more wins in the regular season, 107, than any other team.

    I don't think so. I think it's happened a few times before.

    I checked and it's happened SIX times before, the Florida Marlins (now Miami Marlins) did it twice, in 1997 and 2003. The San Francisco Giants are the most recent team to do it, in 2014.
