Wow, this past series proved one thing for sure--Both teams are not good. I really do not follow the Sox as much as I should (They are a Chgo team after all).Having said this, In this series at least, they were humiliated--Cub-like field judgment, poor hitting, bad pitching--What is left ?? --eg--Dunn--nuf sed ! --Infield letting ball drop--never ever should happen regardless of the wind--in the field position that it did --Starting pitching--Yuck--across the board Konerko cannot do it all
Cubs--pretty much the same-- --Hitters that are paid to hit--are not --Castro--The leagues have found his weakness--less than average fdielder --Barney--no hitting--but is best second baseman defensively in Baseball- but that is only half the job --Catchers --good offensively--mediocre on the rest --Rizzo--jury still out on his hitting--no Grace, he on Defense --Starting Pitching--Just the best position on the teram--AND they all can hit--
BUT neither team can win consistently--Cubs are unfortunately in arguably the best divion in Baseball -- --SOX should climb in a rather weak division, but Pitching--except for Sale--killed them in this series !
BUT--We have the rising RAMBLERS, BLACKHAWKS AND maybe DA BEARZ !!
BULLS ? Like Wrestling--I do not follow them. But that is just me----
