Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself.

Although the Cubs have been playing better over their last few series, the club still sits under .500 and it's looking more and more like they won't be able to hang around and contend in the division.
There has been a lot of disappointment and anger about the 2011 White Sox. It's justified. The Sox have underachieved. They're still two games under .500.
