In reality, as opposed to their fictional dump, I wasn’t behind and I had the cancelled check as proof. But it took them three days to get this resolved. They [...] The White Sox just won the World Series sweeping the Houston Astros in four games! Eighty-eight years in the making! Congrats to the team! Next year: Cubs!! |
