Too $hort was on the White Sox’s clubhouse stereo and the Crosstown Cup was in the room.
Blow the whistle because there was a party on the South Side after the Sox’s 3-0 win over the Cubs on Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
Did anyone drink beer out of the Cup?
“Melky,” Sox slugger Jose Abreu laughed and said through his translator. “Melky did it.”
Of course.
Melky Cabrera, the club’s modern day Juan Uribe, deserved his share as the White Sox beat the Cubs for the second straight time in the crosstown series, thus ensuring the Erstwhile BP Cup — the worst trophy in sports — stayed with the Sox.
