Aside from winning the pennant, an AL Central title, or an MVP award, what better scene is there than the White Sox hoisting the Crosstown Cup for the first time since 2016 *Chef's Kiss*? Jon and James skip the blather and bounce directly into their takeaways from the Sox/Cubs series (:30). Jon Lester's stuff has reached the not-good-enough-to-get-away-with-mistakes tier and it showed. Abreu, Eloy and Luis were all dialing long distance (7:30). Which players should comprise Chicago's All-City team taking into account this series (13:30)? Dallas Keuchel keeps demonstrating how reliable he is (23:30). Plus, why did Renteria allow Cease to pitch through the sixth inning (26:45)? Oh, and Chicago plays Pittsburgh next, fwiw (29:30).
