Winning today would be sweet for all the obvious, playoff related reasons, but that’s not why I’m looking forward to a W. Nope. For me, I’m all about ending Hawk’s broadcast career with a loss at the hands of the Cubs. That would be so sweet, I can already taste it.
Kyle Hendricks takes the ball for the Cubs, and he’ll try to deliver. The White Sox, meanwhile, are countering with Carlos Rodon. Let’s see if the Cubs can drop that magic number to 5. Go Cubs.
