It's put up or shut up time for the Chicago White Sox.Last week while their players, general manager, and field manager were shooting verbal insults at the Cubs' fans, their beloved stadium and the fact that they hadn't won the whole damn thing in 100 years.
And all the Cubs did was let their bats do all the talking as they swept away their cross-town rivals.
Now the series shifts to U.S. Cellular Field where the White Sox are 24-11. Conversely, the Cubs are a less than impressive 16-20 on the road.
However, the Cubs should be the LEAST of the Sox' concerns as the Minnesota Twins are 0.5 games out of first place.
That means a Sox loss and a win by the Twinkies takes away a little bit of the shine behind a series that pits a pair of first place teams against one another.
Nevertheless, this should be a fun series to watch. I will especially keep an eye on ESPN's Sunday Night Telecast.
Will Joe Morgan apologize to Cubs fans after creating a crock of crap and belittling the name of the great Ernie Banks?
Will Jon Miller, who is a much better announcer in MLB 2K8 than in real life, not sound like a monotonous piece of crap?
Will Morgan give himself another hard-on while analyzing Carlos Quentin's perfect right-handed swing?
Only time will tell. Until then, let's play ball!
P.S. GO CUBS GO!
