October 10, 2026. A big day for Chicago or Cleveland? Tonight was a winner takes all situation. The Sox, a 6 seed, was not expected to be in this game, or anywhere near it. October is a special time in baseball. Strange things can happen. It was raining in Cleveland and fans in the 2nd inning were seen fleeing the rain to not get wet. Could this be a sign of good luck for the Sox? When the Cubs won the World Series it rained, game stopped, came back, and won it all. I know this isn't the World Series, but it is a Championship setting, nonetheless.To start it off, Cleveland drew first blood with a two-run home run in the bottom of the 4th inning. The Sox had a hard time recovering. The White Sox bats were on silent mode all night. The Sox lose 2-0 and their fairytale season ends. The Sox are a young team with a fantastic future! I am looking forward to seeing what they do next Season. Congratulations to the White Sox! Chicago is proud of you. Champions or not.

The Montgomery Beautification Committee will host its annual Halloween Display Contest to recognize homes and businesses for outstanding Halloween decorations. "It quickly has become our most popular decorations contest of the year, as the Montgomery residents manage to raise the bar every year," says Ben Brzoska, Village Trustee and chair of the Beautification Committee.

A tough start for Game 2 of the ALDS. In the first inning, Cleveland struck first with 2 runs on a throwing error that should have ended the inning with no run. A quick Sox pitching change and the inning finally ended with no more damage. Cleveland started showing off some very good pitching to start the game. In the top of the 4th, the Sox finally put up a run. Cleveland held steady with a 2 - 1 lead that went into 6th inning when Cleveland Pitching started to show signs of weakening. With Sox players on 2nd and 3rd, Brandon Montgomery came to bat. He ripped a line down the right field line and scored both players. Sox took a 3-2 lead, and tried to capitalize on it, or just hang on for dear life. With a man still on base and the inning not quite over, Chase Meidroth comes through yet again with a hit the drove in another run. Sox go up 4-2. Cleveland hits a snag. A throwing error advances from Meidroth to second but can't come up with anymore that inning. Going to the top of the 6th, the Cleveland crowd can be heard booing the team. The air sounds like it has left the stadium. You could hear individual comments in the stands. Bottom of the 8th inning, Cleveland got a flash of excitement. From Joe Adell, who just missed a home run, making the score 4-3 Chicago. From there to the end, it was all White Sox. Today was won not by just Pitching or Hitting, today was a Coaching victory. Will Venable quickly realized when his Pitchers were struggling, and adjusted to find the perfect combination, and orchestrated a wonderful win for the Sox. He was like a Conductor directing an orchestra. Sox win 4-3 and make the best of 5 Series 2 games to 0 versus a talented Cleveland team. This Series isn't over yet, but Cleveland is on the verge of being eliminated with one more Sox win. To sweep Cleveland would be a Cinderella achievement for a team that was considered a joke the last two Seasons. How far will the White Sox go? Just ask the Pope, who says he is sending his prayers with his White Sox. Are the Sox a team of destiny or have they not really faced a team that is better than them yet? What's your thoughts? Do the Sox sweep?

Sox-Mania is in full throttle for Game 1 of ALDS. Just like the Wild Card Game, the White Sox drew first blood yet again. In the top of the 7th inning, with a man on first. Colson Montgomery ripped a shot down the 3rd base line, which scored Kyle Teel with a huge run to help the Sox go up 3 -0. The White Sox Pitchers had a fantastic performance, shutting out the Guardians. This is a very good start for the South Siders and a Series worth watching. My prediction is Chicago takes the series. If what we saw today is a precursor for this Series, expect some great baseball!
