Pudge To Cubs Would Mean An End To The Chicago World Series Drought
ESPN.com says that the Orioles are making Pudge an offer. I don't think anyone would disagree that a Pudge/Javy catcher platoon would be the best ever. Plus, by playing the Sox and the Wanks all the time, that lineup would wear on both teams' pitching staffs, which is good for everyone.
If the Cubs get Pudge, baseball's all-time greatest catcher, they'll immediately become my pick to win the World Series. They'd have a great lineup from one to nine, with two great starting pitchers (Prior and Wood) and one really good one (Carlos Zambrano). The 'pen will be better with LaTroy Hawkins on board, and Corey Patterson, who would have been an All-Star last year without his injury, will be back. There's good reason for Northsiders to be excited this year.
