Texsox Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Cubs? Sox? How 'bout the best of both? June 19, 2003 BY CAROL SLEZAK STAFF REPORTER Advertisement Either you're a Cubs fan or a Sox fan, and there's little common ground between you. And that's OK. The city is big enough for both of you. (Long may you bicker.) But there can be only one All-Chicago team, consisting of the best players from the Cubs and Sox. And this is it FIRST BASE *All-Chicago Team: Frank Thomas SECOND BASE *All-Chicago Team: Mark Grudzielanek SHORTSTOP *All-Chicago Team: Alex Gonzalez THIRD BASE *All-Chicago Team: Joe Crede CATCHER *All-Chicago Team: Damian Miller RIGHT FIELD *All-Chicago Team: Magglio Ordonez CENTER FIELD *All-Chicago Team: Corey Patterson LEFT FIELD *All-Chicago Team: Carlos Lee STARTING PITCHING *All-Chicago Team: Esteban Loaiza RELIEF PITCHING *All-Chicago Team: Joe Borowski MANAGERS *All-Chicago Team: Dusty Baker MOST VALUABLE PLAYER *All-Chicago MVP: Mark Prior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Does it seem strange I would take Alou over Lee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Does it seem strange I would take Alou over Lee? Lee runs bases better, is better defensively, makes a third of what Alou makes, is 10 years younger and even their RBI production is a wash. (Plus he is flashier and better looking, with a much better nickname. No contest.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 What a joke. Sammy has better numbers when healthy than Maggs while Alou has had a much better year then Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying if he didn't have an injury that kept him out 3 weeks. He is hitting over .300 or at least I think he is and was playing really good until his injury. Magglio just hasn't been his typical self. He gets the nod cause he's played the games, but this is the best player, not the best team player, and player wise, Sosa is better, imo. Now when Maggs stops trying to pull the ball and hit homers and raises his average, I'll change my story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Magglio Ordonez has been the best right fielder in Chicago for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now when Maggs stops trying to pull the ball and hit homers and raises his average, I'll change my story. Maggs has one more homer than he did at this time last year. I know homers aren't the only stat. I'm just making a point. P.S. Didn't we do this a couple of weeks ago? Maybe Slezak is browsing the boards.

Iguana Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 maybe it's because Magg's doesnt need a cork to do his job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTC2784 Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I don't get how Mark Prior isn't good enough to beat out E-Lo for the best starting pitcher, but beats out him and everyone else in the city for MVP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a huge strip of cork in my closet in my dorm room for the summer up here... anyone going to the June 29 game?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
