The White Sox eleven game winning streak is halted by the Cubs in the last game of interleague play.
Cubs best the sox 8-6. Konerko does his thing again by homering in the 6th and the Sox attempt a rally
in the 9th with a double by Beckham left, Kotsay scoring, Pierzynski to third. Pierre singles to right, Pierzynski scores, Beckham scores, but Marmol works out of it and the Sox end up 2 runs short and lose 8-6.
Tyler Colvin breaks out in the leadoff spot and hits a 3 run dinger and goes 3 for 5 with 4 Rbi's.
The Cub bats come alive as every starter gets a hit except for Jeff Baker starting at 2nd base, giving Theriot
a rest. Dempster gives up 2 in the first but beats John Danks who up until now had the Cubs number.
Time for some Yakzies wings.
Doesn't it always seem like this series sways one team in a direction for the rest of the season?
Cubs and Sox announce the awarding of the BP Crosstown Cup starting in 2010. The Cup will be awarded to the team that
wins the majority of the games (normally 6 but with rain-outs, etc.), and in the case of a tie, the cup will go to the team that
wins the last game.

Barack Obama on being a White Sox fan from
Chicago Sun Times
Obama joked about the stereotype of Cubs fans, who probably are tired of being described as partying people-watchers instead of serious baseball fans. "You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there," Obama said, according to transcripts released by ESPN. "People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball." |

1906 World Series
Before interleague play in 1997, the White Sox and the Cubs often played in exhibition games. The White Sox and their South Side fans invade Wrigley and the North Siders travel via the Dan Ryan, Lake Shore Drive, or the "El" (the subway) via the Red Line to U.S. Cellular Field. Most of these exhibition games were filled with "call ups", those being minor league players as the teams did not wish to have their regular players injured in an exhibition game. Thusly, these games, although intense in the fans eyes, were merely entertainment. Then in 1997, it finally counted. The first two years of these games (1997 & 1998), there were only 3 games for the entire season, with the home team alternating. Then in 1999, MLB introduced the current series of the games, in which there are 3 games at each park each year. Although the teams had a similar record against each other in this series (they were tied going into 2009), there is nothing similar about either team in the eyes of their fans. With the Cubs having not won a World Series in over 100 years, and the White Sox finally having broken their long drought in 2005 (an 88 year wait), the "palehose" have an advantage in recent bragging rights with their World Series win. |
