I'm a Chicago native doing the whole school thing here in Boston. Know of any good bars to watch the Sox sweep their way to victory with my fellow Chicago brethren?
Ordinarily, Bostonist would be disinclined to spend time answering the inquiries of out-of-towners who root for teams that bested the Red Sox in the playoffs. But dammit, we like Ozzie Guillen so much that we can't say no, and we have lived in enough cities that we know how lonely it can be to watch your team from behind enemy lines or, worse, among people who have already turned their attention to other sports. Unfortunately, we must confess that this particular question has us stumped. We have asked our cousins at Chicagoist, a Chicagoan friend who went to school here but now lives there, and just about everyone else we can think of, and no one knows the answer. Apparently, the person who sent us the question is not the first to contend with this matter, judging by some postings we found on craigslist. We even contacted one of the people who posted seeking fellow White Sox fans, and he informed us that he had received only one response, and the person didn't follow up. Local Astros fans have banded together to find space to watch their team, so White Sox fans who like to gloat (and possibly fight) can go there, but we can find no corresponding camraderie among our city's Chicagoan exiles (except for a certain 5'9", 19-year-old White Sox-rooting woman in town who is seeking the company of a like-minded man).
Dear readers, won't you help this poor White Sox fan out? Post comments here if you know where he can go to be among his people, and do it quickly - the Series may not last much longer.
