Give the North Siders their due — they've had a summer. Back in May, the White Sox came into Rate Field and took the Crosstown series two games to three, capped by an Edgar Quero walk-off, and for a couple of weeks it looked like the wheels might come off the Cubs entirely. They didn't. Chicago's...
The rivalry that splits this city down the middle is back for round two. After the White Sox hosted the Cubs at Rate Field in May — and took the series — the North Siders return the favor this week. The Sox roll up to Wrigley Field for three games, Monday through Wednesday, August 17–19....
Nobody outside 35th and Shields saw this coming. A year removed from one of the roughest seasons in franchise history, the Chicago White Sox are sitting in first place — and they've spent all summer refusing to give the seat back. As the dog days set in and a Crosstown showdown with the Cubs...

Rate Field sits at 35th and Shields, right in the heart of Bridgeport — which means you've got two great ways to eat before first pitch. You can post up at a Sox bar you can walk to from the gates, or hop one Red Line stop from Sox-35th down to Chinatown and turn pregame into a full-on feast....
