The Crosstown Classic |
Cubs and Sox announce the awarding of the BP Crosstown Cup starting in 2010. The Cup will be awarded to the team that
wins the majority of the games (normally 6 but with rain-outs, etc.), and in the case of a tie, the cup will go to the team that
wins the last game. The cup is currently in production and should be ready for the begining of the Crosstown Classic series
which starts in on June 11, at Wrigley Field.
The White Sox eleven game winning streak is halted by the Cubs in the last game of interleague play.
Cubs best the sox 8-6. Konerko does his thing again by homering in the 6th and the Sox attempt a rally
in the 9th with a double by Beckham left, Kotsay scoring, Pierzynski to third. Pierre singles to right, Pierzynski scores, Beckham scores, but Marmol works out of it and the Sox end up 2 runs short and lose 8-6.
Tyler Colvin breaks out in the leadoff spot and hits a 3 run dinger and goes 3 for 5 with 4 Rbi's.
The Cub bats come alive as every starter gets a hit except for Jeff Baker starting at 2nd base, giving Theriot
a rest. Dempster gives up 2 in the first but beats John Danks who up until now had the Cubs number.
Past Pitching Matchups:
6/11/2010: Jake Peavy (4-5, 5.90 ERA) vs. Randy Wells (3-4, 4.86)
All AJ all Day...AJ Pierzynski starts the day 4-4 (HR & double and 3 RBI's), Konerko knocks in 2 RBI's, Quentin puts one on the board, Rios follows for the 2nd homer off of James Russel. Not to be outdone Alex Rios matches AJ with 4 hits. Soriano hits his 10th HR of the year off Peavy. Randy Wells gives up 5 ER and 10 hits in 5 IP. Jake Peavy regains his old form with 7 IP, 6 H, and 5 strikeouts. Cubs try and make a game of it by taking two hits by Theriot and Lee, then an error by Nix at 3rd base and a RBI single by Baker in the 8th, to cut the lead from 10-2 to 10-5, but come up short. White Sox win 10-5.
6/12/2010: Mark Buehrle, LHP (3-6, 5.40) vs. Carlos Silva, RHP (8-0, 2.93)
Cubs go 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position and waste another good effort from Carlos Silva. Paul Konerko goes 3 for 4 with 2 ribbies and Buehrle gets out of jams with two on and no outs in the 1st and 4th and pitches 6 2/3 scoreless while striking out 7, the bullpen comes in and does the job. Bobby Jenks is a bit shaky in the 9th and gives up a run but strikes out Chad Tracy swinging to end the game. White Sox win their fifth straight against the Cubs going back to last year.
6/13/2010: Gavin Floyd, RHP (2-6, 6.18) vs. Ted Lilly, LHP (1-5, 3.28)
Calling this game a pitcher's duel doesn't give it justice. Both Gavin Floyd and Ted Lilly throw 6 no hit innings and Floyd gives up his first hit in the bottom of the 7th to Alfonso Soriano (double to left) and then Chad Tracy drives a single up the middle to bring Soriano home. Lilly continues to pitch a no hitter going into the top of the 9th...which leads to a nail-biting ending...read more below

W: T. Lilly (2-5) L: G. Floyd (2-7) SV: C. Marmol (13)
Calling this game a pitcher's duel doesn't give it justice. Both Gavin Floyd and Ted Lilly throw 6 no hit innings and Floyd gives up his first hit in the bottom of the 7th to Alfonso Soriano (double to left) and then Chad Tracy drives a single up the middle to bring Soriano home. Lilly continues to pitch a no hitter going into the top of the 9th, but Juan Pierre pinch hits for Gavin Floyd and singles up the center to break up the no-no. Anarchy then errupts thereafter, when Carlos Marmol comes in. He walks Andruw Jones, balks both runners up, intential walk to Rios and the hot hitting Paul Konerko comes up. Marmol gets out of it though with a force-out at home on a slow roller to Derrek Lee, and a pop fly to Marlon Byrd to end the game by Carlos Quentin. The only game in MLB History with double no-hitters through 9 innings: |

W: J. Peavy (7-5) L: Carlos "Big Z" Zambrano SV: somebody, please..throw the cubs a lifesaver, and save them from themselves
Carlos Zambrano ends the first inning by going into the dugout and screaming and yelling at everyone and anyone and gets into a feud with Derrek Lee. Zambrano has to be restrained by Geovany Soto (C) and Manager who states that's he's run out of ideas to help his team win. Piniella sends Zambrano to the showers and home and later General Manager Jim Hendry suspends Zambrano indefinitely. Last season, Biz Z was banned for 6 games by Major League Baseball after an outburst during a game against the Pirates. in 2007, Biz Z got into a fight with former teammate Michael Barrett. Both players were fined. Barret was later traded. Big Z has also had some run ins with the Gatorade cooler, but it should be noted that the cooler may have provoked him. Carlos Quentin knocks a 3 run dinger in the first. Juan Pierre starts off the game with a double which bounces over the first base bag and may be the impetus for Big Z's frustration with Derrek Lee. Lee also must have somehow thrown the slider improperly that Carlos Quentin knocked into left field. Gordon Beckham decides to wake up from his nightmare of a season and knock out his 2nd HR. Tom Gorza...Gorzeee...Tom G. pitches adequately in replacing Big Z and goes 3 1/3 to help pace the Cubs in their loss. Peavy is outstanding for the Sox as they win their 10th in a row. Peavy goes 7, striking out 9, and giving up 3 hits. Bobby Howry pitches an inning of scoreless runs which is amazing for the season he's had. Hey he's pitched for both the Cubs and Sox. How 'bout that? |
