The Cubs better not get Brian Roberts from the Orioles.I want BRob to finish his career in a Baltimore Orioles Uniform.But if we get some Good Starting Pitchers who knows what will happen.I did Pick the Cubs to go to the Series.
i'm a big pirates fan (yeah, i know) but i've always had a soft spot for the cubs - their history, their great players that have come and gone, wrigley field - heck, i've even always like their unis. and i've never cared for the dodgers. yet for some reason i enjoyed seeing the cubbies swept.
or better put, i enjoyed all of the "experts" being so wrong - leading up to the series one talking head after another had all but declared the cubs world series champs. and the lack of doubt they expressed was stunning! not only were the cubs going to win it all, but they were going to sweep the dodgers. one guy on espn radio droned on and on about how he had been right about the red sox and that he had the same feeling about the cubs - the panel agreed wholeheartedly. not sure if an "expert" could have been any more wrong...
In 2006, all the experts had the Tigers winning easily over STL. STL had no problem over a young Tiger team that folded like a deck of cards. I still remember Curtis Granderson talking to fans in the on-deck circle DURING THE GAME! I still remember Verlander looking like a scared kid and all the errors. There was not one guy picking STL.
Fast forward to 2008 ST. Every ESPN guy and anaylst had Detroit in the WS on paper. "No brainer." They ended up in last place and were actually painful to watch. I wish I could get paid for my opinion, it's worth at least as much as the experts.

First I was pulling for Dunn and the D backs, than it became Griffey getting a ring with the Sox..... now I am sitting back watching Sean Casey on the bench of the Red Sox?!?!?! I don't know about if I really want to see boston win but if anyone deserves a ring I guess it would be nice to see the mayor get one. On the other hand this young Devil..... I mean Rays team is fun to watch!
