Catching A Crosstown Baseball Game Between the White Sox And Cubs

This past Sunday afternoon I watched my South Side heroes, the Chicago White Sox, play their hated North Side Rivals, the Chicago Cubs, at Wrigley Field on MLB.com. It was a 1-1 tie until the 6th inning, when the wheels fell off for the White Sox, and the Cubs won the game 6-2 for a 3-game series sweep. The Cubs actually have a pretty good team this year, and are expected to make the playoffs, while the Sox are coming off a 121-loss season last year, and so the outcome was not a big surprise. And I must say, the White Sox do look better than last year, but not that much better. However, they are at least better than my adopted hometown team, the Colorado Rockies, who appear to be working hard to beat that White Sox record from last year. Just yesterday, the White Sox lost to the Seattle Mariners 5-1, leaving them with a 14-34 win-loss record, the Rockies lost to the Philadelphia Phillies 9-3, leaving them with a major league worst record of 8 wins and 39 losses, and even the Cubs, in first place with a 28-20 record, lost to the Miami Marlins 8-7, leading me to believe it will be a long, long summer.
