Chalk one up for the marketing departments of both the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs. They were able to get BP (British Petroleum) to sponsor (read: give the teams money) a rivalry cup (named the BP Crosstown cup) to be awarded to the Chicago team with the most wins in the annual interleague series.

In the event the series is split, the winner of the series’ last game will be awarded the trophy.

“I haven’t seen it, I’ve heard it’s awesome,” White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of the new trophy.

Hey A.J. there’s a reason why you haven’t seen it – the actual cup did not make an appearance at its own introductory press conference. It’s still in production – FAIL!
