You were there for a day.

But was it a hot, fun day?

I fear, Layla and Mark, I fear that the White Sox are looking ahead.

And I was like, you can't be looking ahead of the Cubs.

I know it's a big series, but you got to handle your business in division.

I think one of the things I told you guys when I said the White Sox can win this division a couple of weeks ago is you can't win this division unless you beat the teams in your division.

And they have a golden opportunity here.

to sweep the Royals right out of town.

Right, and just really kind of squish them and stomp them.

Sort of like what we thought the Cubs were doing to the Reds at the time.

Oh, they did it.

To that point, they had lost, what, seven or eight in a row, and the Cubs were responsible for four of them.

So you're right.

It's kind of a two for one.

The Sox continue to rise, and if you could stomp out any of the other division opponents, that's a good thing.

And that's one thing that's different between the Cubs mindset as a whole versus the White Sox.

The Cubs are full of players who have been here, done that.

Remember, Alex Bregman's never not been in the playoffs in his career.

Never had a season where he just went home after game 162.

Meanwhile, the White Sox, young, up and coming.
