We're only two games into the 2009 season, and already White Sox fans are getting restless for a change at the top of the batting order.

With all the hype surrounding the Bears and their upcoming trip to the Super Bowl, we've been neglecting the other teams in town. Just because they're not headed to Miami doesn't mean they're not making news, so we thought we'd give a quick Friday update on the Cubs, Sox and Bulls.

No, Chicagoist isn't promoting the return of short pants for the White Sox. What happened in the 70's should stay in the 70's.

On Friday, we pondered whether the Crosstown series still had the same meaning following the White Sox's World Series title. This weekend's series showed that, at least on the field, it sure does! The White Sox won the series, taking 2 of 3 games.

The biggest off-season question on all White Sox fans' minds was whether Paul Konerko would return or not.

The most persistent Sox rumor involving a hitter prior to the non-waivers trading deadline involved them landing Cincinnati Reds outfielder Ken Griffey Jr. Supposedly a deal was nixed at the deadline by Reds ownership. Word that Griffey has been put on the waiver wire and cleared waivers means the rumors of his coming to the South Side are reemerging.
