Column: It’s only April, and the White Sox, Cubs — and Rick Sutcliffe — are already in rare form

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:32:55 GMT

Two glaring questions on the minds of Chicago baseball fans three weeks into the 2023 season:Are the White Sox as awful as their 7-12 record indicates?Are the Cubs as totally awesome as Marquee Sports Network analyst Rick Sutcliffe seems to believe?The simple answer to both questions probably is no.But recent events already have Sox fans in a deep funk and Cubs fans cautiously optimistic the tide has finally turned on the North Side.The Sox, who haven’t won a single series after dropping the rubber game Wednesday to the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2, have too much talent to continue on a 102-loss pace. The 11-6 Cubs, who swept the Oakland Athletics with a 12-2 victory to end their West Coast trip 5-1 and capture their fifth straight series, can’t possibly be a 105-win team.But that’s the beauty of April, when teams get an opportunity to show that everything they worked on in spring training can translate to the regular season. The Sox obviously haven’t lived up t...
