Looking at the probables pitchers for both teams on both websites, the pitching matchups will be this, followed by my predictions.

 

Danks vs Marquis SOX 7-5

Contreras vs Lilly CUBS 4-3

Vazquez vs Dumpster SOX 5-3

 

Contreras vs Lilly SOX 10-7

Vazquez vs Dumpster SOX 3-1

Buehrle vs Gallagher CUBS 11-8

 

Your turn (don't make a smarta** post, it's just a little fun).

I love missing Z also, but don't we hit him well. I bet his ERA is 3.7 at the least. I know we put up 7 against him last year after AJ's granny at Wrigley, and I could have swore we scored 11 runs in a game he pitched 2 or 3 years back.

 

Anybody have his stats against us lifetime?

It's not whether we hit him well or not. I just hate him and his antics and don't want him to show up my team.

True. I hate him as much as the next guy, but I'd love to see him pitch against us, we rock him in like 2 innings, he can't throw a strike, and then the fans mock him, and he has another hissy fit. I would laugh so hard...

I'm going to say the sox win 4 out of 6 from the cubs. hopefully the probables stay the same and we miss zambrano both times. I definately think we can light up lilly, gallagher, and marquis. Ryan Dempster? I still don't believe he is really as good as his record shows.

I'm thinking 3-3 or 2-4. This offense is very streaky, and I doubt it will keep it up through the two Cubs series.

 

(Oh, and if we go 2-4, I also predict the board to go insane and think that the season is over, but really, that's not much of a prediction)

I predict we will see Zambrano twice. Rainout or something crazy.

I think we'll go 2-4 or 1-5 vs. Cubs.

There is a vote of confidence.

 

If we get to their starters, we can easily split if not win the 6 game series. I say 4-2.

I actually think Lou Piniella does understand that there is a bit of importance in the crosstown series and will attempt to align the rotation to get Zambrano facing us. Just a thought though. There's also the possibility that Piniella knows that the Sox hit good fastballs and he will leave the rotation as is.

I agree, I wish we could face him so we can watch him stomp around out there like a 4 year old once he screws up.

Assuming the pitching matchups stay the same, we certainly have a rather large advantage there. Past Z and Dempster the Cubs rotation isn't all that scary, and we run Vaz against Demp twice (so those games are at worst a push). Our bats seem to be waking up a little and if they can keep scoring the way that we have in our current winning streak I really like our chances to do some damage to the north side.

 

 

Lets get that season sweep! that'd be great. My Cub fan friends have been a little too cocky about their team this year.

Regardless, I'm going to all 6 games!

 

I did that one year, will never do it again. Too many idiot fans come out of the wood work for both teams.
