Even though the Red Sox/Angels series is probably the best first round matchup, I'd be lying if I didn't say say everyone will be watching the Cubs. That's pretty much because you either want to see them finally it all, or you'd love to see them fail yet again. There's pretty much no middle ground.Obviously, there's a lot going against the Cubs chances - namely history, the curse of the Billy Goat, and of course Dick Stockton. But at least for this matchup, the Cubs clearly have the superior team, but we'll see how things turn out.
Tonight, the Cubs will send Ryan Dempster (17-6) to the mound against Derek Lowe (14-11). Dempster seemingly never loses at home, so you have to like the Cubs chances tonight.
Right now, 82% of FanIQ is going with the Cubs.
By the way, Cubs fans, here's something that might help you in this series. Bears drunken-flop Cedric Benson once played nine games for a Dodgers farm club in 2001. So, in other words, the Dodgers are screwed.
