NO JOY IN CHICAGOLAND

Only a short week after hopes were sky high on both sides of baseball town, the Cubs and Sox have bowed out of the playoffs, winning a combined one game. Embarrassing, perhaps, depending on what side of town you root.

The Sox, with little preseason hype, showed heart in just getting to the playoffs. The Cubs, arguably the best team in baseball all season, showed their lack of heart while in the playoffs.

Who had the more successful season, the Cubs or Sox, and why?

Clearly the Cubs had the better season. They won 97 games, second best in MLB. The Sox record would have been good for third place in the NL Central. Once again they drew over three million fans to the park. Sure both teams tanked in the playoffs, but for the season, the Cubs ruled the psyche of Chicago like no team since the great Bulls teams or the occasional Bears team.
