  Despite the Cubs being off yesterday, they somehow managed to get as many stories as the SOX did, and the SOX allegedly played last nite.
  The Cubune, showing just how Biased they really are, by Running a Fluff piece on how The Messiah will be pitching "...Class A Lansing, a farm team for the cubs", as if mentioning the word "cubs" will draw hundreds of fans to this game. They even give Directions and ph numbers and ticket prices to the stadium, as if asking fans to show up.
  CubTime:
  Standings since spring training........
  CUBS 641
  SOX 451
  I'm convinced that if the Sox were in the Series and the Cubs were not even in the playoffs, the Cubs still would receive coverage in the print media. There would be an interview with Dusty Baker's toothpick, and how Kerry Wood's triceps were reacting to seeing the Sox in the Series.
  ................... and how Kerry Wood's triceps were reacting to seeing the Sox in the Series.
  Isnt if Funny how the Cubs told everyone that his "Triceps" is what was hurting him ........... now Quietly, were hearing that
  its his Right Elbow that is Inflamed ........Again. The Media just went right along with this, never questioning that organization up north for Constantly Lying to the Media/Public for years ........
  I agree this was one big fluff piece. Now they are advertising for their minor league team. However, the reality that the Cubs have a better chance of going to playoffs than the Sox is much worse to think about.
  Did anyone see Channel 7's sports last night at 6:00? They had a freaking helicopter shot over Wrigley while Prior and Wood were tossing the ball around.
