CHICAGO — With a little more than one month remaining in this bizarro baseball season in Chicago, the Cubs and White Sox have somehow managed to switch identities.
A contending Sox team is being booed on the South Side, where expectations have exceeded results and impatient fans have grown weary.
“They have every right to be upset — at the team, management, whatever, they’ve got every right to do it,” manager Tony La Russa said of the booing after Friday’s 7-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
