That's it...the apocolypse is upon us.  It's June and the Cubs and Sox are still in first place.  Considering Ozzie's rants and the White Sox lack of offense of late, you'd swear they're really in last place.  Instead, they're scoring runs in support of their solid starting pitching and, three game skid in Tampa aside, they're winning ball games.  Who'd have thunk it?  And then there are the Cubs...the team which had its nine game win streak snapped by the Padres last night after a classic Greg Maddux performance...69 pitches of four hit ball thru seven innings.  The man is amazing.  But it takes a future Hall of Famer to stop the Cubs these days.   They have the best record in baseball!!!   I can't tell you how many crazed Cubs fans have come up to me and said, "this is it!  this is the year!"  (You know who you are, Dane Placko!)  Before we go scheduling a crosstown World Series though, let's just get a grip.  Things can change rapidly.  I'm not saying they will.  I'm just saying they can and let's proceed cautiously.  How 'bout we play the regular season games between these two first and then see where we're at?
