The plain white bread uni's are terrific. Baggy and ill-fitting. Especially on Youk. I do like the Cubs logo design.

Too bad the announcers don't insert brief anecdotes of the ancient teams and history. This is a primo opportunity to forego the typical current pressbox drivel.

I was at last night's game on the Monster, and Eric Karros was walking around on the Monster, chatting with fans up there about how they felt to see a Cubs / Sox game. I know there were some good stories a couple of guys from my group shared with him, but he hasn't repeated any of them yet tonight. Couple of more innings to see if he uses that material....

I like the uni's and Steve is right about Youk's ill fitting uni. And what an ugly 8th inning from a Sox perspective. The Sox looked like they were using gloves from 1918 .

Loved the nuances around the ballpark, but those were the ugliest throwback jerseys that I have ever seen! (both teams).

These were interesting and I normally love the throwbacks, but the Sox ones were just a little too boring for me. Too bad they couldn't have worn the 1908 ones, they're my favorite early Boston unis!

It's been two interesting games with lots of runs. My wife and I have enjoyed the local buzz here about the history surrounding the two teams. There's been a lot of nice coverage in our media and it's made for a fun series.

A couple of photos. I didn't think these were the 1918 Cubs unies were they?

Ha, good one Michael. That was quite a terrible inning for them....I wish they kept Rich Hill in to pitch the 8th. You know how the old saying goes, "If it ain't broke..."


That game was very neat though with the unis and everything else they did. I hope Marlon Byrd is OK though.

My friend had an extra ticket to the game tonight so I'm going! Wonder if they're gonna play some beanball after last night.

Kerry Wood hit Lowrie in the thigh. It was intentional and both benches were warned. I don't blame [Wood] one bit, even though Aceves never meant for that to happen. I read he tried to get in contact with Byrd to see if he was alright, with no luck.

I know what you mean..... I would have much rather had the option of watching the Sox/Cubs game...
