BP sponsors weekend baseball series between Cubs and White Sox! BP Crosstown Cup goes to winner!

Fans at Wrigley boo when BP Cup presented
Associated Press
June 11, 2010

Fans at Wrigley Field let out loud boos when the BP Crosstown Cup was presented before the Cubs' game against the White Sox.

BP, which is under fire for its handling of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, is in its first year as title sponsor of the annual six-game series between the crosstown rivals.

The Cubs and White Sox opened a weekend set at Wrigley Field on Friday, with another three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field scheduled for June 25-27.

The cup goes to the series winner or the team that takes the final game if they split the six games.

Both teams have said they would stick with BP, although some of the promotions were scaled back.

1. I predict some little dribblers back to the mound, but one team

or the other eventually will erupt and bust the game wide open.

9. Cubs and Sox managers pose with the British Petroleum Baseball Cup

Cubs manager Lou Piniella and the Sox's Ozzie Guillen pose with the BP Cup.

Cubs and White Sox fans proved to be up on events of the day, cheering during the entire national anthem, ala Blackhawks fans, and booing at the unveiling of the Crosstown Cup sponsored by oil company BP.
