I'd forgotten that this years Chicago doublentries into the baseball playoffs are both performing a tribute to the playoff performance of the 1983 White Sox. Love those key HR's given up, those bases loaded situations where nobody gets home, and players screaming @ the other team.
Both teams - no doubt about it -are facing tough opponents. But these performances? The Cubs have been worse, and are in a lot of danger now. No Cub hating here, as the Sox have suxxed as well - just a realization that a Chicago Series is sadly slipping into the gutter and both teams have been deeply pathetic. The Cubs are too good a team to be swept - or even not advance from the first round.
The Sox, after a stirring few days this week, still have a bit of life. One loss, when they wanted only one of two in Florida, is ok. They have @ least one game @ Comiskey on Sunday. And, maybe most importantly, they got Vasquez out of the way. The next three starters are Burlhe, Danks, and Floyd - and, if a fifth game is needed, then I believe it should be - i'm changing my vote - Richard the Rookie. Vasquez is a nice #5 starter, but we need better for this series.
Both teams need better. yeesh.

Looking for responses from both sides of town on this one: even though both Chicago teams made the postseason in 2008, do each need to scrap a lot of the current roster and rebuild (or if you prefer this term- reload?)?
I am addressing this soon. I have ideas for the Sox. A fourth starter (vasquez an ideal 5th, although he willmak elotsa $ for a fifth), a new left side of the infield Cubs seem pretty set for next year.

If the Jake Peavy deal doesn't go through for the Cubs, what do Cub fans think of this idea- Soriano for Barry Zito? Bad contract for bad contract. Cubs need to shake-up the lineup of postseason no-shows and would acquire a former Cy Young winner. Just how good a pitching coach is Larry Rothchild- can he turn Zito around. From SF perspective, they get a marquee name to replace Bonds. Thoughts?
