Chicago White Sox Morning BP (5/8)
How about the Chicago White Sox the past three games … three wins in a row and sealing the fate of the Crosstown Cup by returning back to the South Side.
Last night’s win over the Chicago Cubs, by an 8-3 score, made it even more special because Paul Konerko hit a three-run double to put the White Sox far ahead of the Cubs for good.

Seeing Paulie have a clutch hit like that can, and should, make any White Sox fan happy, but especially against the Cubs.
If the White Sox can win tonight, it would be the first time they’ve swept a series all season, as they are now over the .500 mark by one game at 18-17 overall. The Cubs are 11-21 on the season.
