It's no secret that Cubs and White Sox fans have an ongoing rivaly -- hence the Crosstown Classic, which will resume this Friday, June 26 through Sunday, June 28 at U.S. Cellular Field. (The Cubbies and Sox split the two-game stand at Wrigley last week, in case you've been living under a rock.)

In honor of this annual grudge match, MyWrigleyville.com, a new social networking Web site for Cubs fans and Wrigleyville residents, is hosting an all-in-good-fun Crosstown Classic online contest. Throw virtual "pitches" at White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, mostly to vent any frustration and to kill time at work, in a 10-second time period to see how many times you can make contact. The winning scorer each week will win tickets to an all-inclusive Wrigley Field rooftop.

And, this should go without saying, but, please don't try this at home.
