I would have Prior go game seven instead of Wood. I like Prior much better in pressure situations. Marlins are the best team right now in the postseason.
I have a feeling if Red Sox don't advance to the World Series, Marlins will win it all.

Cubs pitching rotation sets up pretty well for this series. Looks like it will be:
Game 1 (Chi): Zambrano
Game 2 (Chi): Prior
Game 3 (FL): Wood
Game 4 (FL): Clement
Game 5 (FL): Zambrano
Game 6 (Chi): Prior
Game 7 (Chi): Wood
I don't have much confidence in Zambo's ability to handle the game 1 pressure (he's hyper enough in regular season games), but with Prior ready to even things up at 1-1 and Wood set to start the first game in Florida the Cubs can rebound quickly. Plus, if it ever goes back to Chicago those last two games will also feature the Prior/Wood tandem.
The Marlins have been awesome for most of the season. They have good young starters, solid hitting (not Braves-caliber, though), and awesome base-stealers so this should be a fun, hard-fought series between two scrappy teams.

I'm in Atlanta for the weekend (to see Radiohead), but I got to go to the Braves/Cubs game tonight. There were a lot of Cubs fans tonight, and a lot of heckling going on. I'm just glad to have made it out intact

What a lack of disrespect. More Cubs fan in your home stadium then Braves fans. That is a shame.
Look at all these Cub bandwagoners.
So do I but that would mean starting Wood on 3 days rest. With the number of pitches he usually throws it's not worth it IMO...he'd probably have to leave after 5 innings, and the Cubs bullpen is questionable.I would have Prior go game seven instead of Wood. I like Prior much better in pressure situations.

I'm torn. I like Florida, live in florida, etc. But, I'd be more interested in seeing a Cubs RedSox world Series.
Anyway, I think Florida has done well against the Cubs this year... so... I'm thinking Florida will take it. But, I think it'll be a good series.
welcome to LA!! any cars torched yet???
