This past weekend, the second series in the Chicago Crosstown Classic was played between the White Sox and Cubs. This is usually referred to as Chicago's World Series since neither team usually makes it to that series (especially that team on the North Side).
The six game series is played home and home, with three at Wrigley and three at Comiskey (I don't use that other name).
Happy to report, Da Sox won 4 of 6 games and should have won the first game at Comiskey.
Of course, I'm a Sox fan and definitely in the minority around here. Man are there a lot of Cub fans and many really hate the Sox. Then, again, many Sox fans really hate the Cubs. Myself, I always back the Cubs UNLESS they play the Sox.
Back before baseball started their Interleague play, people still got up for the Crosstown Classic even though it was an exhibition and both teams gave most of their players the day off and brought up minor leaguers, which I hates.
You can not tell who is better when it is just minor leaguers playing.
Chicago Flashback, a new page in the Chicago Tribune had a page on the history of the games on July 3rd and I will be blogging about it in the next few days.
Go, You White Sox. Now, If We Can Just Figure Out a Way to Beat Those Mean Old Twinkies. --DaCoot
