Happy Chicago Dual Victory Day

Yesterday marked the first time since May 17th that both the White Sox and Cubs won games on the same day. (To be fair, there was that 3-game stretch where the two teams had a rougher-than-usual game of paddy-cake.) And to celebrate the rare Chicago Dual Victory Day, ChicagoSports have decided to use the following pair of photos to lead off the stories:

Whereas the White Sox 11-0 blasting of the Indians is highlighted by Jim Thome smacking out his 20th Home Run, the Cubs photogenic highlight is a paparazzi-esque shot of Vaughniston as part of the "We Might Be Doin' It" publicity campaign for their upcoming movie.

Odds are that this choice might have to do with the two different directions these teams are heading. Since the last Chicago Dual Victory Day, the Sox have gone 8-4 while the Cubs have stumbled-and-bumbled along with a 3-9 record, including back-to-back sweeps. (The first by the best team $15 million can buy, while the second included three of the one-run notoriously heartbreaking losses Cubs fans have becomed accustomed to.)

Right now, to say that baseball is a little more important on one side of the city than the other is an understatement.
