What a great day for baseball in the city of Chicago. First, the White Sox opened their lead in the AL Central to 2 full games--the largest it's been in a month--by defeating the Orioles in a laugher and watching the suddenly mortal Twins drop their second in a row to the lowly Mariners.

Then for the cherry on top: Jay Mariotti, the face of shoddy journalism and irrational hater of all things Sox, quit his post at the Sun Times.

No need to give any attention or credibility to the least relevant writer in Chicago. So good bye Jay, take your cowardice and personal grudges some place else.

As for the Sox, John Danks will look to extend the AL Central leader's win streak in tonight's series finale in Baltimore.
