Pressure?

What pressure?

If the 0-2 Cubs have anything going for them right now, it’s that all the pressure is now on the Dodgers to close the deal.

Lou Piniella and company are no longer expected to win this series. Historically speaking, they are already eliminated.

After finishing the regular season with a National League-best 55-26 home record, who ever thought that a change of scenery might actually do the Cubs some good?  

Or, as a friend of mine put it: “If you’re not going to come home with two wins, don’t come home at all.”

OK, maybe some pressure.

Wrigley Field just average

Wrigley Field was ranked the 15th “best” MLB ballpark according to a Sports Illustrated fan survey. The overall rank was based on the results of 10 separate categories.

Turns out the “Friendly Confines” is a traditionally inhospitable cash-cow that serves crappy food and fields a mediocre team but still maintains a great atmosphere with knowledgeable fans in a first-class neighborhood…sure, sounds about right.
