Cubs vs. White Sox: Series Thread (Games 25-27)

Despite falling off a blistering pace this last week, the Cubs fought to hold their ground. They can now proudly welcome their south side rivals with a superior 16-8 record to the White Sox's 15-11. Still, this Sox team is no collection of slouches. They have entered their competitive window, and the Cubs will now have to face some young stars entering their primes.

Game 1, Friday, Aug. 21, 7:15pmCDT
CHC: LHP Jon Lester (2-0, 2.74 ERA)
CHW: LHP Dallas Kechel (3-2, 3.07 ERA)

Lester allowed five earned runs to the Brewers but walked away without a decision after six innings pitched last round.
