Ozzie: White Sox parade 'better' than Hawks

[ChicagoBreakingSports]

By Dave van Dyck

While waiting for the Blackhawks and the Stanley Cup to make their way to Wrigley Field Sunday night, the White Sox were able to reminisce about their 2005 World Series championship and ensuing parade.

"Ours was better," Guillen said of the parade, "because there were more people. I guarantee there were more."

Estimates have two million fans jamming the Loop last Friday for the Hawks.

Guillen, admittedly biased, says the White Sox's winding route from U. S. Cellular Field through the neighborhoods was much longer than the Blackhawks' journey through downtown, therefore more total people were able to see it.

Guillen and many of the White Sox have already seen and touched the Stanley Cup because Chicagoan Chris Chelios brought it to the locker room after the Red Wings won two years ago.

"Awesome, best one in sports," is the way captain Paul Konerko described touching the Cup, which unlike the Commissioner's Trophy, gets passed around. "It's pretty amazing to see it."

Guillen, who has seen several Hawks games, say he "had tears in my eyes" when Patrick Kane scored the overtime goal to win the Stanley Cup.

Agreed.

Not that I'm a Cubs or White Sox fan, but knowing how long it took for the Hawks to FINALLY get a parade in Chicago and still needing to do or say something to get the attention all on him: It's becoming childish.

well lol yea

ozzie emulates immaturity

 

[NVgoldrush12]

Well, the only thing (In my opinion) that the White Sox did that was "better" (cooler) than the Hawks, was Steve Perry. I freakin' love Journey, and Steve Perry, and "Don't Stop Believin'" so that is better than the Hawks. But the Hawks didn't really do something like that so...

 

[BigP50]

Ozzie just has fun.

And of course Ozzie is a better shooter than Kane. . . better at face offs than Toews. and finally, can screen the goalie better than Buff...

Ozzie's a great guy ... full of shit... but a great guy.
