June 23, 201114 yr Don't they have to win 2/3 in Wrigley in order to worry about parade routes? I hope you didn't just jinx that series.

June 23, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 08:44 AM) If they win one, they keep the Cup by virtue of winning it last year. I thought that if it finishes 3-3, the team that wins the final game gets the Cup?

June 23, 201114 yr Why does this remind me of the "everyone gets a trophy" mentality that has pussified sports?
June 23, 201114 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 23, 2011 -> 10:40 AM) You sir, are correct. I thought it was whoever had the lead the series before they tied won the cup? Because I thought last year the Sox just had to win Game 1 or Game 2 in the second series last year to secure the cup because even the Cubs won the other two, the last team to have a lead was the Sox, and they therefor, won? I don't know, why they wouldn't break the tiebreaker with point differential is beyond me.

I doubt the players take winning this trophy all that seriously. And I know for a fact that receiving a participation trophy isn't nearly as fun or good as receiving a first place trophy.
June 23, 201114 yr "Under the rules of the newly established BP Crosstown Cup, the two teams will continue to meet in a yearly six-game head-to-head series as they have since 1997. The team with the most wins in the yearly series will be formally awarded the rivalry’s namesake trophy. If the annual series is split 3-3, the BP Crosstown Cup will be awarded to the winner of the series’ last game." Next weeks series...........the stakes just got a whole lot bigger.
June 24, 201114 yr If the Sox have a chance at winning the BP Cup in Game 2 or 3, will they open up the Cell so Sox fans can watch it on the jumbotron?

Just think if Reinsdoff is willing spend the entire amount directly on the draft... Edited June 25, 201114 yr by thxfrthmmrs

The indoor Canadian soccer on ice Cup to me is about as meaningful as a cup that I can get refills in (I never do) at McDonalds. Edited July 3, 201114 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft

If the Cubs could ever take the season series from the Sox, they would have a reason to build a trophy case.
