This is it, everyone.
This is the series that the third-place Chicago White Sox had likely circled on their calendar weeks ago: four games against the division-leading Minnesota Twins. Before tonight, the Twins have pretty much run circles around the Sox, sweeping them in April and nearly sweeping them again earlier this month.
Maybe South Siders felt the urgency. Maybe they took some extra swings in the cage. Maybe they played Joe Esposito's 1984 smash hit “You’re The Best Around” from The Karate Kid soundtrack in the clubhouse before the game and got really pumped up.
