You Cub fans keep saying they are the better team. DA....Maybe that's why they're favored, and we all know that the favorite always wins. While yes this Cubs team is good it's far from the world beater that many of you think they are. They got most of their wins this year beating up on sub .500 teams and were just decent against the better teams. That's not a knock on the Cubs. Good teams are supposed to beat up on the bad ones.But keep things in perspective. The Cubs have one BIG flaw. Their offense is a lot like the Cardinals was this year.
I am a Cub fan and have no grandiose slam dunk view. It could go either way, especially since I don't know Cleveland.
What I really like is that the Cubs at least made it to the world series and should be good for years to come.
I will say this though, the Cubs hitters have just faced a boatload of good NL pitching, worked their way out of a slump and seem to have a more contact oriented approach to hitting right now. So, we'll see how Cleveland pitching measures up to what they just saw. The Cubs pitching and defense is also pretty darn good.
Really glad the Cubs are playing Cleveland, who has a long and interesting history and a beautiful ball park, unlike that team that the Indians just beat.
