And so begins the first step in the road to the World Series for the Cubs, an opening round matchup with the Dodgers. I’m confident that our team is much better and should take this series in 4 games. That’s my prediction- Go Cubbies!

Announced just recently, the Blackhawks will indeed play the Red Wings at Wrigley Field on New Years Day 2009. This is so awesome. Tickets will likely be ungettable, but where theres a will theres a way. Click the photo to get some more info on the game and more pics of the Hawks at Wrigley.

Back to the ballfield this weekend. After being swept, the Sox look to back up their trash talking at home. Without the rats, bad smell and idiot fans, perhaps the Sox will play better. But I’m guessing not so much.

Check out this video preview of the series from Yahoo! sports.

Some of the best time for baseball in Chicago is during the ‘Crosstown Classic’ twice each year.  This year is unlike no other showdown, however. The Cubs and Sox have never battled being in first place in their respective divisions; until now.

Be sure to follow the series this weekend because it is sure to be legendary.

And finally, Dale Jr. ended his winless streak and broke through to Victory Lane today at Michigan. Very good to see him get back to his winning ways. Go Dale!
