Godfrey Logan talks about a potential North vs. South World Series. No, not like the Abe Lincoln days, he's talkin' (White) Sox vs. Cubs in a battle for the ages.

Cubs V.S. Sox In The World Series
by Godfrey Logan

It's been many years since the Cubs and White Sox were in first place this late in the season and not since 1906 since the two teams played each other in the World Series. The White Sox won that one 4 games to 2.

With the Bears at 1-2 and no one in the city knowing what to expect from the Bulls and Blackhawks the Chicago has a chance to be the center of the baseball world this October. What would be called the Red Line series it could have an effect that cannot be found in New York, California or Texas, Chicago could collapse in on itself from the from the history surrounding the Cubs world series drout and the sheer dislike of the fans on both sides of the city.

While the Sox play in the secod weakest division in the American league, the American league central and the Cubs play in one of the better divisions in the National league central, the National league remains the weaker of the two leagues with the Aerican league winning the All star game and earning home field advantage in the World Series. But with a weak pitching staff there's no way the White Sox get past Anaheim or Tampa Bay. The fact they have held onto forst place in their division for most of the season means they have done something right like leading all of baseball in homeruns.

I would love to see the Cubs and Sox in an all Chicago World Series and it would show what I've known all along, the Cubs are the best in the city. The Cubs have a deeper team and better pitching staff than most teams in baseball and the best record in the National league but as the 2006 champs the St. Louis Cardinals have shown that doesn't guarantee anything in the post season.

Go Cubs!
