Well it’s time for the Cubs – Sox crosstown series, which the media finds more interesting than the fans. What Cubfan wants to watch the SOX for 6 games? This year the “sponsor” of the series is none other than BP and  the winning team gets the “BP Crosstown Cup”. Even though the sponsorship deal was set up before the explosion, it shouldn’t be a Cup. It should be a slice of pizza or a hot dog and it should be sponsored by a Chicago company. And that Toyota sign has got to go.

Cubs lost 10-5

Only Cup that matters.
