No poll?

[Rice Cube]

Is the poll un-public?

[dabynsky]

I might be blind.

[nwfisch]

sweepz and stuffz.

It's public.

[dabynsky]

Pitching matchup favors the Cubs in two of the three matchups, but that doesn't guarantee a series win. I went with it in calling for taking 2 of 3.

[DewsSox79]

yep danks underachieving and demp and shark overachieving

Muskat fun facts:

5/17 Cubs vs. White Sox

[whitesox901]

Danks and Humber should feast on NL hitting.

[Rice Cube]

Danks and Humber should feast on Cubs hitting.

Not sure who else is on the White Sox slate, but let's be specific here

[nwfisch]

Danks and Humber should feast on minor league hitting.

[Rice Cube]

Just thought this was funny.

[Capt. Serious]

Can go either way but I honestly don't give a rats ass.

[Tazer4mvp]

Let the trash talk fly my phones already blown up...love this series soooo much fun for Chi-town baseball fans.

[brett05]

We had issues with Humber already. Now add our awful schedule the Cubs should fold their franchise if they lose today

[dabynsky]

Not sure who else is on the White Sox slate, but let's be specific here

Yeah nothing like using one of the lowest scoring offenses in the league as being representative of the entire league.

[brett05]

It matters not. In case Cub Fans aren't aware the White Sox are one of the very best teams in IL play

[dabynsky]

How can we not be since you guys tell us that every year.

[daddies3angels]

Well Woody takes the headline for this series. I think CHW take 2 of 3

[cubsneedmiracle]

C is alphabetically before S..

Changed the poll

[brett05]

How can we not be since you guys tell us that every year.

Well it never really changes any

[cubsneedmiracle]

Based on the pitching matchup.. I like the Cubs shot Friday and Saturday.. Sunday with Peavy will be a good game.

Peavy got rocked last start. Maybe a trend be starting
