I'm sure most of you can understand why the weekend White Sox/Cubs tilt was highly anticipated. It features crosstown rivals and both teams are in 1st place in their divisions. That always makes for entertaining baseball.

But perhaps even more anticipated than the actual games was this commercial, which made its debut today. It features Piniella and Guillen in a rap battle for the hearts of Chicago's fans. Or to sell cars. One or the other.

Personally, I prefer Ozzie's heavily accented 50 Cent style tough guy rap to Lou's more laid back approach.

But hey, Lou's squad put up 9 runs in the 4th today, so he's obviously doing something right. Although it probably isn't his rapping.

1	If the Cubs would ever lose at Wrigley this series might've been interesting. Awesome pointless stat... half of the Cubs losses at Wrigley have been to the Brewers, who just happen to suck on the road.

0	(Edited by jswol54) Chicago is the third largest media outlet in the country, and contrary to what you believe, there are Cubs fans all over the country. Have you ever noticed that Cubs fans fill half the park at all over their road games? We have some bandwagon fans, but that just comes with the territory when the team is playing well. Look at the Red Sox for instance.

0	True, and according to Buster Olney, who actually knows his stuff, we're the favorites right now to land C.C. Sabathia. A healthy Sheets/Sabathia 1-2 punch would be pretty nice. McClung has been a pleasant surprise. He's actually been much better as a starter for us.

0	Not true, WGN used to broadcast every game nationwide. The older generations grew up watching the Cubs in all parts of the country. I'm sure most of those people have passed it on to their kids.

Apparently, Matt Gamel is the best prospect in baseball now that Jay Bruce is up in the majors. He's a 3rd basemen, however his defense has been described as "Braun like", so he's probably best suited for 1B or DH. LaPorta is also the 10th rated prospect in baseball and can play the corner outfield spots or 1st. I'd love to see Sabathia in a Brewers uni, but only if we get him signed to an extension first.

I never once said the Cubs had an astronomical amount of fans outside Chicago. I was simply stating that there are quite a few fans nationwide because many people 45+ grew up with Cubs games playing every day on the tube.

I understand that many people may not care in Denver. However, I've got a buddy that lives there as well and he said there are quite a few. Either way, I could care less.

-"Cubs fans are all over the country because Chicago is a terrible place to live climate wise."

What does that even mean? By your logic, nobody cares about the Cubs outside of Chicago. So wouldn't those fans root for home team?

0	Fair enough, I guess I don't like it when ESPN jams NYC teams down my throat either. I repectfully disagree that nobody outside Chicago cares about the Cubs. Outside Boston and NY, Chicago has the largest fan base in my opinion.
