Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong Throws Shot at White Sox After Record-Setting Day
The Chicago Cubs have an excellent opportunity to take care of business over the next two days, beating the Chicago White Sox 13-3 on Friday. For a Cubs team that would love to sweep and extend their lead in the National League Central after struggling a bit in their last 10 games, there's no better opponent to play than their cross-town rival.
Speaking to reporters after his career game, Pete Crow-Armstrong, who finished Friday with six RBI, a home run, four hits, and two runs, threw a shot at the White Sox, something all Cubs fans will love to hear.

'I'd like to say it's passion rather than emotion,' Crow-Armstrong said, per Patrick Mooney of The Athletic. 'I think passion is when you see, like, the real joy. Emotion kind of goes both ways, where it's sometimes what takes me, anybody, out of a game. But, nah, starting the way we started today feels great. It's nice seeing the crosstown fans leave early.'

Crow-Armstrong has quickly become a favorite in Chicago, as he's somebody who has proven to be an elite talent on all sides of the baseball. Not only has he shown the ability to leave the yard, make plays in the outfield, and steal bases, but he also brings a different type of fire and passion to the game.
The Cubs will take on the White Sox on Saturday afternoon, looking to come away with another dominant win.

With how bad the White Sox have been over the past year and a half, there's no excuse for them not to get the job done.
