Two weeknights in May, in lousy weather, isn’t the best setting for Cubs vs. White Sox. But here we are. The teams enter this series with identical 9-13 records. The Sox have lost 11 of their last 14, the Cubs nine of their last 12. Fun!
For more on the Sox, Brett Ballantini, managing editor of our SB Nation White Sox site South Side Sox, has written his usual novel for us.
So you may have heard that the White Sox have started slow. I’d look up the stats on how badly they are disappointing, but it’s late, I’m in a rush out of town and won’t even get to enjoy the Crosstown games, and I’m already depressive enough.
