last night's loss

White Sox News

The White Sox took a tough 10-5 loss to the Cubs in the Crosstown Classic opener, snapping a five-game winning streak and showcasing the ongoing challenges of consistency amid a season that's still in flux.

What I learned when I willingly stepped into Wrigley Field this month

Michael Conforto Is Back To Mashing Righties

Heading into Spring Training, the Chicago Cubs lacked a clear-cut outfield option off the bench. The team struggled to get any production from non-starters last season.
