Peter Gammons, in his January pre-pre-season predictions states that the Cubs AND White Sox as two teams that 'are a lot better than we're thinking right now'. Could Chicago fans have a good baseball season for once?

Sox can do well but no one in Chicago seems to care. The Cubs have to deal with both the Astros and the Cards once again. The Reds aren't doing too bad either."Yay Apoc!!!!!!!" - bipolarbear

IIRC:
The last White Sox appearance = 1959 vs. Dodgers
The last Cub appearance = in the series where Ruth supposedly "called his shot."
They're certainly due.

The Cubs have some great pitching, Chris... it is all they have (no offense).
Wood
Prior
Estes
Clement
Cruz (who will have a breakout year)
Zambrano
etc.
edit: Leiber's option was denied... and Estes and Clement added to the list.Last edited by Imran Siddiqui; January 11, 2003, 13:57.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

But the Cubs still have a serious problem in the bull pen.
As long as they continue to blow games in the late innings, they won't be able to compete for anything. sigh....Keep on Civin'

A Chicago baseball team making it to the World Series: surely one of the early signs of the Apocalypse.
Though it would be nice, if the Cubbies make it (heck, even the Sox's) when on TV they show some grizzled, ancient man who just happens to, as a little kid, have been to the last time either of these teams won. Hmm, I wonder what president Roosevelt (T) looked throwing the first pitch of the 1908 Classic: or did President not do that sort of thing, way back then?...

IIRC, Taft was the first President to throw out the first pitch at a baseball game.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Ming nailed it Imran, look at the Braves, the Bullpen (or lack thereof) cost them a few shots at a championship.
Starters aern't enough, you need middle guys, and a halfway decent closer.

Do remember, Ming and Chris:
The Cubs this offseason signed Mike Remlinger, who was the best bullpen man in Atlanta, and Dave Veres, who was the set up man in St. Louis. Add that to Zambrano and Gordon and I think their bullpen will be fine this year.
Oh, this thread seems the best for this:
Selig proposes to make whoever wins the All Star Game have home field advantage in the WS. GREAT idea, I think.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I hope the pitcher's mound was re-inforced when Taft got on.If you don't like reality, change it! me

As far as the Cubs Bull Pen... Gordon has to prove he is healthy and can still do the job, or there is no true closer. The Cubs blew WAY TOO MANY games last year in the 8 and 9th inning.Keep on Civin'
