Dayn Perry at Fox Sports lists 5 reasons why the Sox will win.

ESPN employs a Sox fan? Who would have thought? Dave Revsine wrote this piece about growing up a Sox fan in Cubs territory.
Here's a small sample. His stance on the Scrubs:
"The truth is, no Sox story is complete without exploring our relationship with that far more popular team from the North Side. The short version -- can't stand them. Most of my life has been spent in perpetual fear that they might make the World Series before the White Sox, which, in hindsight, is akin to fearing that the five-year old with the cap gun next door might develop nuclear capabilities."

On attempting to go with the crowd when at Scrub games:
"The point is, my heart wasn't in it. These just weren't my people: perennially sunny dispositions; ceaseless, unyielding optimism; a sincere belief that things will actually be better next year despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It's really quite nauseating.

So, a Sox fan I've stayed -- fated to root for a team that can literally lay claim to being an afterthought in its own city. Until now, that is."
