Great series between two similar teams. Both teams have average hitting with great pitching. The last time the Diamondbacks were in the playoffs they won the World Series in 2001. The last time the Cubs were in the playoffs was in 2003 when the Cubs lost in the NLCS to the Marlins.
Should be an exciting series.

Should be a good one. Sportsworld vs. Black Jesus 1

I hate the Dbacks. Go Cubs...and go Rockies btw.

It's going to be a very exciting series to watch and I hope the Cubs pull it out.

Last night, him and I were going over each others team on AIM.
I am getting the two ALDS series up in a few minutes. Looks like the Padres and Rockies will play a 1 game playoff tomorrow.

thanks sportsworld.

Hernandez in Game 3, Owings in Game 4 according to the wiretap.

I actually think the Cubs would rather use a 3 man rotation instead of throwing Marshall/Marquis/Trachsel out in a playoff game. I definitely wouldn't be suprised if Z went in Game 4 and Lilly pitched Game 5.

Cubs in 4

Cubbies take it

Cubs in 5.

D-Backs in 5.

Dbacks in 3. Cub fans toilet paper and egg Soriano's house after his 0-25 series.

If you are saying they are going to sweep us and that Soriano is going to go 0-25 that means he will have 8 at-bats a game. Don't know how we will lose if he gets 8 at-bats a game.

snakes gave us fits during the regular season....hopefully that changes this series


Go Cubs!!!!

I just put a number out there. Who knows though, it could happen.

Gonna go with Cubs in 4. Zambrano-Lilly-Hill for Games 1-3, and then the possibility of Zambrano in Game 4 on 4 days rest?

Plus, they have the better offense. Pretty simple really.

Game 1 will match a pair of 18-game winners, defending Cy Young winner Brandon Webb (18-10, 3.01) against Cy Young wannabe Carlos Zambrano (18-13, 3.95).

Game 2: Doug Davis (13-12, 4.25) vs. Ted Lilly (15-8, 3.86) on Thursday at Chase Field.

Game 3: Livan Hernandez (11-11, 4.93) vs. Rich Hill (11-8, 3.92) on Saturday at Wrigley Field.

Game 4: Micah Owings (8-8, 4.30) vs. Jason Marquis (12-9, 4.43) on Sunday at Wrigley Field, if necessary.

Game 5: Zambrano/Webb part 2.

Looks like the Cubs have the advantage in games 2 and 3 while the D'Backs have the advantage in game 1 and 4. This may come down to a game 5.

I would honestly rather have the bullpen just start the game than throw Marquis out there.
