The Cubs don't need this series -- they sell out almost every game. Hell -- today they drew 36,000 fans to a weekday day game in April against the Washington Nationals. The Sox need this series far more than we do (from an attendance/ratings perspective).
And the only person I know who gets all jazzed up about the Cubs/Sox series is AJ Pierzynski.
It's fucking stupid.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It's about the Cubs' half of the BP payday...and merch.
