Cubs vs Red Sox

Tomorrow is JUDGEMENT DAY, fantastic. Wanna know the signs to why? I'll tell ya why!

BECAUSE THE CHICAGO CUBS PLAY IN BOSTON!
The cubs haven't played there since 1918!
That was 10 years past the beginning of the "curse". But, as the Sports d00de I have no belief in curses, raptures, or any mumbo jumbo. On that note, it's time to preview this series.





First off "Da Sox", the ones of red orientation, big hopes in the beginning of the season. They out bought the Yankees for bats! They got Adrian Gonzales and Carl Crawford (two big hitters for those who don't know). BUT, they forgot pitching wins championships (The Philadelphia Phillies took all the pitching though) and they started off very slow, a nice starting record of 0-6. BUT, as of late they are charging because the rivals in New York are slumping and disagreeing, while in Bean Town they are cheering and blooming. Carl Crawford is on fire, the pitching is improving, AND now they are the American League team playing against the "weaker" National League.


On the other side, my loveable losers, the Chicago Cubs. Scratch the loser part, they are getting hot in the right time too. Incosistencies give them a below .500 record of 19-23, BUT (and a big but at that) they are getting hits from  all over in their line-up. The cubs took a gamble that I liked, they risked moving some pieces (like Derek Lee and Ryan Theriot) to gain talent from the minors (a page out of the Red Sox's book). For that they got hitters that make contact on lots of things, to compliment their home run hitters. They also signed a new First Basemen, Carlos Pena, who was a lot like the Red Sox again in the beginning of the season....he slumped major, but now he is hitting like a man possessed. Plus, he used to be a Tampa Bay Ray who were the bane of Red Sox in the postseason in the past couple of years. That and Pena has a big bat against them tonight in the first game of the series, he has 10 hits in 34 at bats with 5 homers and 12 RBI's off of the Sox's "flamethrower" Jon Lester.

Anyways there is lots of history between these two clubs. To each it's own. I can't wait to see how all the old timey feel is brought out to this cool inter-league play match up. The cubs will draw their faithful (hopefully) and the Red Sox nation will be ever so prevalent.

P.S.
Go Cubs!
Keep it real d00des and d00dets!
