Lucky cub fans

I noticed that you also failed to mention the 10-1 drumming put on the Mets by the Cubs the night before.

Oh yeah, the Yanks handed it to the Sox in the second game, 8-1, just in case you missed it.

Danks' performance was good, but hardly "par excellant"

"Par Excellant" to me would be more than 6 1/3 innings.

He is pitching well, but just because he is on the sox doesn't mean he is now great.

Can't you guys wait until the weekend to settle the Cubs-Sox debate?

That debate is and will imo, continue to be a forgone conclusion.

Every possible historical head to head measure of the 2 franchises comes up big for the Sox.

You can't argue history.

glove man......Sox 2 Yanks 1

and............Mets 2 cubs 1

Best teams win.

Dempster?

Lou is reaching an ozziepoint!

Ted Lilly and Ruairi O'Connor have the same face! What a resemblance.

Hard to tell with Ted wearing the cap. Now if Ruairi would don a Cubs cap we might be able to see this remarkable resemblance that you speak of rosy.

Nice job rosy, (and gotwood)

How to make a pi$$ed off Sox fan smile @ 4:16 PM.

Think about real teams like the RED SOX (AL) and the MEts (NL) ---get your head out of the clouds---lose your hatred for the Cubs and watch real baseball--that is read winning teams

There's no question the two mugs shown above are handsome...now the Sox' play today late in the game was quite the opposite...it was nowhere close to handsome...it was downright ugly.

Tom, that just means he's a REAL fan. You have to stick with your team even when they're losing. I've done it with the Oilers/Texans, Rockets (although I don't watch BBall anymore), and yes my Astros even had a few losing years in the late 80's and early 90's.

With all that being said, I have two favorite MLB teams......the Astros, and whoever is playing the WhiteSox!

Soxnole,

We should all find a way to smile every day we're above ground. Don't be so pi$$ed. Just a good pitchers duel between Buerhle and Lilly with the Cubs bullpen holding down the fort, for a change.

Didn't understand MacDougal coming out to pitch the 8th, but when you've got the best manager in baseball be sure not to question him.

Sure am sorry that I missed his meltdown on the radio this morning. Couldn't happen to two more self-centered egomaniacs. How dare he want to start a right handed hitting catcher instead of old grumpy. Who in the hell does AJ think he is, the second coming of Yogi Berra?

Thought Buerhle looked terrific and a great job by Lilly. I thought he couldn't beat a good AL team. Oh, ........... LOL.

rosy, you are so right!

Noles spank Ga Tech again and the hammy holds up another day! Not to mention a 2b and RBI.

Soxnole,

Put down Mark Hallberg as the 'Noles 2007 MVP.

I've been so impressed with his total game, the way he carries himself on the diamond and a real sense that quietly he has immense confidence in his ability.

rosy,

What a player!

However Tony Thomas may be the player of the year and Bryan Henry may be pitcher of the year!

Having said that,Jack Rye may be the best player on the team. Buster Posey was the freshman All American SS last year and looks to be an All American @ catcher this year. This has been a great ride with a very talented team, top to bottom.

Soxnole,

I don't pretend to know the 'Noles like you do. Of course, Tony Thomas is having a great year and will be drafted high. Bryan Henry has been a stud all season. But without Hallberg, you probably can't move Posey to catcher, where he's been tremendous and, IMO, a better catcher than SS. Mark may not be the best player on the team, but without him you wouldn't be sitting at the top of the rankings. If he had been acquired in a trade, it would go down as a steal! Just so you know, I never saw the young man play a game until this season and I'm not his uncle.

Cubs 11, Sox 6. Derek Lee, the best player in Chicago.

Not bad, the Minor leaguer Cubs have beaten the Major leaguer Sox two in a row!

That's pretty good for a bunch of AAA players, right soxnole?

Kind of like the WS last year glove man.

Good thing the 05 WS was the spanking your Stros deserved.

The Sox will put the world back on it's axis tomorrow.

What the Sox need to do is put a muzzle on Ozzies mouth ----he is a disgrace to the game

Ozzie's already said and deposited more garbage that you wonder where's the uproar. Well, we all should know by now. The PC police only operate on one side of the street. Certain groups can say what they want at will, and seemingly the liberals that rant and rave and get people fired at first light of dawn just look the other way.

Ozzie will bury himself in due time.

Truth be told I was happy the Stros even made it to the WS, as anyone who watched the series, and judging by the numbers not many did, all of those games could have gone either way, one pitch here, one pitch NOT there..... you get the point.

I was happy for the Sox after 86 years of futility, that they finally got back to and won a Series, now please don't tell me you'll be reminding all of us about it for the next 86 years.

BTW, thanks for Carlos Lee, via Milwaukee!
