Karen’s Opinion

I just telephoned my sister to chat and she informed me that she couldn’t talk right now, she was busy watching the Chicago White Sox playing against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. It’s the first game of their playoffs and she didn’t want to miss it. I can understand, although, I’d probably choose to root for the Chicago Cubs before rooting for the White Sox.

A few years ago my husband and I were invited to attend a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field in Chicago and so, for sentimental reasons, I still find myself rooting for them. I’m not a big sports fan, but I do enjoy baseball now and then. My sister and her family used to live in a suburb southwest of Chicago and so, they root for the White Sox. They lived there in 2005 when the Sox won the World Series and they’re hoping to see that happen again, even though they now reside in Texas.

So, I’m rooting for the Cubs, my sister’s rooting for the Sox and our mom is a big fan of the Seattle Mariners. Who do you root for?
