Cubs Bomb Red Sox 14-6
It was a day to remember as two notable teams squared off for the second time since the 1918 World Series. This game did mark the first time ever that the Red Sox have played the Cubs at Wrigley Field. Exploding for 20 hits the Cubs took the upper hand in the opener. Greg Maddux had a splendid pitching performance. He held Boston to 3 runs plus added a homerun for extra measure. This looked like the Greg Maddux of old. The starting roster is holding up their end of the bargain, providing fundementally sound pitching and keeping games close. The interleague meeting Friday afternoon was a classic. Despite the final outcome, the Cubs and Red Sox are almost evenly matched. Their records are similar as well as their starting rotation situation, both of which have their top aces injured. This series could of been even more thrilling if Prior, Nomar, and Schilling were playing. The rest of the series will kept fans on the edge of their seats. Boston will play with avengence on Saturday to counter the whooping they received in the first game. If it's another windy day in Chicago, do expect the Red Sox to get their share of runs. They've learned more about playing in the field now and how the ball carries in certain alleys in the outfield. The Cubs struck first, now it's on. An all out frenzy or war may break out, you never know so be ready!
