The funny part is the White Sox don't have a "curse" yet they're the team with the most "realistic" probablility for a curse. The Cubs haven't won because of a goat. The Red Sox haven't won because of a bad trade (well, sale, actually). The White Sox haven't won a World Series sine 1917. In 1919 eight players were banned from baseball for throwing the World Series. I think if any team would deserve a curse, it'd be the franchise that nearly ruined the sport entirely.
Of course, the national media still isn't aware the White Sox exist so I don't see how they could come up with a curse for them.
