In episode #1 of Put Up or Shut Up, the appears to be a clear cut winner. I guess this is what a south side beat down looks like. The Cubs vs. the Sox left one wondering why people don't know there are two MLB teams in town. The Sox only prayer is to squeeze out a single win next weekend. The Cubs now stand 7-1.
Here is my all city team;
1B- D. Lee - no contest vs. Swisher/Konerko/Thome combined
2B Derosa- very unheralded, versatile - though A.Ramirez is quite a talent
SS. Theriot- quiet .310 hitter who is very dependable with glove and bat.
3B. Rammy over Crede. How could Phil Rogers have picked Crede? Ramirez has almost 600rbi's in last 5 years.
C. Soto over slimfast Perzinski- the rook is just beginning to shine. He has better power numbers and clearly calls a better game.
Lf. Fonzie over Quinten - no contest, though Quinten is probably their best player right now. Though Fonzie's frustrating with all of his injuries and attitude, when he is on, he is offensively one of the best.
C. Both teams have platoons. i'll give this to the Sox out of pity, though reed is great with his effort and edmonds is finally coming around.
Rf. Draw- Dye has better power numbers and fukadome has better oba. Both are great in the field. But Fukadome is clearly on the rise while Dye can only go down from here.
P. Zambrano is better than any of their starters. In fact he has a higher batting average than their entire team.
Relief- Woody over Jenks. Wood with a league leading 17 saves may have found his niche.
Coach- Not even close- Lou does whatever he has to to win. Ozzie is biding his time until he gets the Florida gig.
GM. Hendry without question over the no show Williams. Williams is all talk while Hendry is all action.

Even though we lost all three games, the sox are clearly the better team. the cubs got very luchy on friday and ozzie didn't want to expose the bullpen too early on saturday. Ozzie is right about jim edmonds. He sucks and always has.
But the Cubs were clearly the better team Sunday, rite? Take away Dotels bad outing and it's 3-1 Sox on Friday. Take away one inning on Saturday and it's 7-2 Sox.
Sox have third best home record in baseball, and the Cubs are below .500 playing above .500 teams. Sox gotta be favoured this weekend. Maybe not to sweep, but 2-3 is a series win and will get theminto the playoffs eventually. Where pitching (best staff in baseball White Sox)counts.
RE All-Chicago team picks: not too biased...
