Over time, the flair of the Crosstown Classic has faded.
In fact, it’s gotten to the point where if you are a casual baseball fan, you may not have even realized the White Sox and Cubs just wrapped up their last series of the year.

Following the White Sox 2-1 loss to the Cubs Tuesday night, White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy had a message for his teammates. “Detroit is coming.”
He’s right. The Tigers have won seven of their last nine games and have moved within a game off .500. While the winning percentage still is a far cry from where everybody expected it to be, all that really matters is their place...

Sale and Greinke square off as...
