BASEBALL PREDICTIONS:
#3- Chicago Cubs v. Arizona Diamondbacks: Arizona in 5.
I have gone back and forth on this one, mostly because no one in Chicago i sgiving any respect to Arizona- the team with the best record in the NL!!
Cubbies will not have home field advantage unless they meet the Rockies in the next round. Zambrano need to win Game #1 for the Cubbie to win, and while Zambrano has a better record on the road, I am no fan of Big Z. Diamondbacks have the best record in one -run games (reminds me alot of the White Sox in 2005). In the late innings, Cubbies turn to Dempster (2-7 28 saves) as closer- yuck! Arizona has Valverde and his 47 saves. Chicago media is focusing on Arizona's lack of playoff experience. Lacl of playoff experience didn't hurt the White Sox in '05. At least the Cubs have Sweet Lou. I don't think that will be enough!
