I would say that would be a good matchup. I kind of want the Yankees because the Cubs never to this day have won a game in the Bronx. It'll be nice just to get some payback from past Cubs teams.

The Yankees have Starlin Castro now. What's the scouting report?

He is okay at the plate but his hits has been going down the last few years maybe that's because he was benched and used mostly as a backup last year. Defense...ehhhh if the Yankees are going to use him at short. I'd be a little worried. 138 E's in 6 years at SS by no means a Gold Glover.

He's pencilled in for 2B.

And if the Cubs make the Series, it has to be against the White Sox.

I would like to see that also as a payback for the 1906 World Series. Cubs winning this time of course. I don't think I want to be anywhere near Chicago if that series should happen again. Its bad enough with the 4-6 games they play during the regular season.
