Who's better, Phillies or Cubs?

Question

I'd prefer the opinion of those that are not a fan of either team, those that are will be thumbs downed (not like that really hurts, but hey, it's my only option). Phils stormed back to win the final two and get a split against the Cubs, probably should have one three of four or even swept them if not for some bullpen breakdowns that have been uncharacteristic of them this year. A lot of people want to put the Cubs right in the WS (including SI and CBS Sportsline) but I think the Phils just proved they could hang with or even beat the Cubbies in a 5 or 7 game set.

Opinions?

P.S. Yes I am a Phillies fan, but a realistic Phillies fan who actually thinks the Cubs may have the better team, although I think the Cubs are also grossly overrated.

Answer 1

no clue i hate baseball

Answer 2

The Cubs.

Answer 3

if it wasnt for bullpen issues in the first 2 games the phils wouldve swept, theyve played better than the  cubs

Answer 4

c

Answer 5

CARDINALS ALL THE WAY!!.. Between the Cubs and Phillies.. I would choose the Phillies, I hate the cubs!!

Answer 6

Well, with the way the Phillies are playing right now against the Cubs, it's kind of hard to tell.

The Cubs pitching is BY FAR better than the Phillies, but I think that the Phillies have an advantage as far as offense goes.

I guess we'll have to wait until playoff time to actually find out...

CRYSTAL-If you hate baseball, then what the h**l are you doing in the baseball section?

Answer 7

neither

My team= Tampa Rays

but hey phils aint doin too bad either ditto on cubs haha!

Answer 8

Usually answers are biased. It depends from the individual's perspective.  

Answer 9

The cubs put marshal in there today in place of zambrano.  If this was a playoff game that probably wouldnt have happened.

Answer 10

my husband would say phillies

Answer 11

Cubs. Phillies rely on the HR ball too much and struggle in pitcher friendly parks. Cubs have a better balanced offense, btw I'm a Dodgers fan.

Answer 12

Phillies seemed better in this series, but I still thinks the Cubs are better.

Answer 13

PHILLIES!! go woot woot cubs are p**p!

boo cubs i HATE them. alot

alot

alot

alot

yeah

Answer 14

The cubs are the overall better team. Although the phillies have a powerful offense, they have not been consistant over the course of the year.

Answer 15

im a fan of cardinals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cubs suck!!!!!!! go phillies

Answer 16

the phillies arent even going to be in the playoffs , how can they be beter than the major league leading team? dont say anything about the mets bullpen because i believe before youre two wins vs the cubs youre bullpen collapsed 3 days in a row

Answer 17

I'm a Die-Hard Chicago Cubs fan.  I've been a fan since the age of 11 and have been through a lot of ups and downs with this team.  I'm now 37 and hoping 2008 is the Year of the Cubs !!, but I will be the first Cubs fan to come out and say, the Cubs played like c**p this 4 game series.  Yes, "tip your hats" to the Phillies.  I think both teams are pretty even when it comes to pitching and offense, but as a Cubs fan, I feel pretty lucky stealing the first two games, as we could have easily suffered a 4 game sweep in Wrigley and that would NOT have been good for the Cubs moral.  Let's hope they bounce back and play well in Sept.  

Answer 18

The Cubs are the better of those two teams.
