Cubs 0-2 in Wrigley

Keep making those brilliant picks, Jayson Stark. To be fair, neither Jayson nor I thought to mention the ability of the Cubs infield to make errors out of easy outs.

With the White Sox losing to Evan Longoria, the Chicago teams are now 0-3. That should end the discussion of the all-Chicago World Series talk, which was stupid from the beginning. And I like Kazmir to beat the surprisingly enigmatic Buerle in the next game. How will Chicago react to their teams being 0-4? Poorly, but with a dollop of the fatalistic.

Looking at just this first couple of games, it may be a total cop-out, but I don't see any reason for the World Series not to be Phillies vs. the Red Sox. Or maybe, Phillies vs. The Angels. That ALCS will be spectacular.

Poor CC Sabathea, by the way--over 300 pitches in the last 12 days.

Can we just briefly mention all the former Twins in these games? J.C. Romero, Grant Balfour, Jason Bartlett, stupid AJ Pierzinski. We'll see Garza later on.
