Staff report

Multiple sources tell the Tribune that during a Monday morning news conference, the Cubs and White Sox will announce a new tradition -- a trophy (and the public bragging rights) to the club which wins the annual city series between them. We're told a tiebreaker is in place should the teams split the six games 3-3.

While the teams surely have more questions to answer, we thought we'd give them some ideas on the kind of trophy they might want to play for.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Oh, and I fucking hate the Crosstown series. I didn't think it was possible to hate it more, but this does it.

The teams are merging and Butch is going to be come the most self-loathing individual on the planet.

THEY COULD PLAY AN EXTRA GAME, PRESUMABLY WASTING A DAY OFF, OVER A FAKE FUCKING TROPHY?

I'm guessing it will come down to something non-game related.

A meth smoking contest?

[Butcher]

Unfuckingreal. This thing is going in the wrong direction.

[Scarey]

I have to admit, playing IU every year for the Old Oaken Bucket makes it more interesting.

That being said, IU/Purdue is a rivalry where as Cubs/Sox should not be. Casual fans for both sides are going to love this. The first time the White Sox get hold of that trophy though, you know you'll be hearing about it every time you leave the house with a Cubs hat on. It will definitely generate even more of a buzz. It's smart from a strictly business point of view.

I'm not sure it will change things all that much. Will the players hoist up the trophy when they win it? They shouldn't -- it's fucking meaningless and stupid. Would the Yankees/Mets ever do anything this fucking moronic? Dodgers/Angels? They wouldn't.

What will make it even more idiotic is if the Cubs and Sox are both under .500 when this series rolls around. Yay! Both of our teams suck, but we won the "tallest midget" trophy! Huzzah!

I agree, but to be fair, if they made the prize a $10 million award to charity, you'd still be against it because it involves the Sox.

You're right -- I'd still hate it. They could give $10M to charity without getting the Sox involved...and the money wouldn't be tainted.

Maybe we can make it so that the loser is forced to leave town once and for all, make it the new Biggest Loser.

Just more pandering to the stupid.
