Maybe Cubs can take 'em
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 2/26/03 | Michael M. Bates

Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) jokes that if any more candidates for his party's nomination enter the race, they'll have enough for a baseball team.

It wouldn't be a very good team, however. None of the candidates are willing to play anywhere but in left field.

The Republicans have Hall-of-Fame pitcher Sen. Jim Bunning on their side, as well as a former baseball owner named George W. Bush.

Don't forget Former President George H.W. Bush, who played first base in the first ever College World Series.

The Ultimate Armaggeddon series. CUBS vs. RED SOX. Hell will freeze over, pigs will fly, and money will grow on trees.

If the Red Sox win it, watch for Ted Kennedy to say stupid drunk and stupid on the floor of the U.S. Senate.

Kerry looks in total control pitching wise and his bat was well needed, this looks good for the Cubs I dare say.

Kerry Wood has a 1 hitter going into the bottom of the seventh against the most potent offense in the NL.

Wood took this game into his own hands with some clutch hitting. I thought the Cubs were doomed when they didn't score with the bases juiced in an earlier inning.

You know Harry Carey's just waiting, from his perch in the ultimate sky box, to say it, don't you?

Two more innings, and St. Harry can say

CUBS WIN!!!

I'd love to see the Cubs and Red Sox face off in the Series.

I'm pulling for the Cubs in the NL as well, but as a longtime Yankee fan you know my thoughts on the LowSox. The Curse lives!

A 2 hitter so far, great pitching on both sides but Wood is smoking right now, he's awesome.

I like the playoffs and the Series because the games mean something. Otherwise, baseball, like pro football in the regular season is just dreadful.
