It's not quite Yankees- Red Sox or Dodgers-Giants, but the Cubs and White Sox do have themselves a crosstown rivalry. And with the White Sox off to a competitive start this season, fans are actually getting behind the South Siders.

The Cubs appeared to be witnessing a potential home run from Ian Happ against the White Sox. But along came Mother Nature.

The Cubs released their lineup ahead of Sunday’s matchup at Rate Field, and 24-year-old infielder Matt Shaw was not part of the starting group, though he has regularly sat against right-handed pitching throughout the season.

Jameson Taillon did not make excuses after the Cubs lost to the White Sox Friday night, openly admitting hitters have adjusted to his pitching tendencies.

Former Yankee Jameson Taillon will help lead the visiting Cubs past the White Sox on Saturday night, Stitches predicts.

Chicago White Sox rookie Sam Antonacci has been hit by a pitch eight times since being called up on April 15. “He sticks his nose in there and is not backing away,” manager Will Venable said.

The Cubs let the White Sox have their fun. The first few innings of action Friday were as tightly-contested as many hoped, as the Sox even managed to tie things up after the Cubs snatched a 4-1 advantage.
