It's been almost a hundred years since the two teams met at Fenway Park, but Friday the Red Sox meet the Chicago Cubs in game one of a three-game inter-league series.

The last time the Cubs were in town, it was for the 1918 World Series, which the Sox took home in six games.

What's in store this weekend, when the two storied franchises meet again? We preview the series with Only A Game's Doug Tribou.
