OT: Go Cubs

[oldrover]

We as Pats fans (and in my case Red Sox fans) know... losing for a long time really sucks.

 

[oldrover]

That said, Cleveland hasn't won since 1948, so I'm good with Tito winning too. LOL

Not too many people alive seen either (caption obvious) on the Cubs

I think the Cubs/Indians would be the best for baseball, ratings and bringing back some fans

Agreed. I'm all in on Cleveland.

They have them back.

MLB ratings, attendance and revenue is the highest in years.

\true,, they are highest in years but pale in comparison from the pre-mid 90s

Agreed.

As much as it would be seemingly great to see the long suffering Cubs finally win a World Series, I can't do that yet.

I still remember the theft of Theo Epstein by the Cubs, in a deal in which the Red Sox were supposed to get significant compensation.

That never happened, and the Cubs finally sent some scrub minor league pitcher as the supposed compensation. Not surprisingly that pitCher proved to never be more than minor league fodder.

I blame the Red Sox.

The should have canned Lucchino and promoted Theo.

Henry and Werner blew it.

Cherrington is the luckiest GM who ever lived.

Go Cubbies!

 

[The Gr8est]

Cubs are making consistently hard contact.

Kershaw doesn't have it tonight.

 

[signbabybrady]

I have a friend who works for the Cubs so I'm rooting for them.

 

[TB12TheGoat]

I can't be the only one who thinks it would be funny to lose game 7 of the World Series in a walkoff. Every Cub fan I have ever met has been a prick.

Win win

I'm rooting for the cubs in this series but after that it doesn't matter to me. Should be a fun WS to watch.

 

[oldrover]

Mrs. Rover is a Mets fan and hates the Cubs... due both to Leo Durocher, and that in 1971, Fergie Jenkins won the Cy Young over Tom Seaver. She's a well balanced Irish ginger...

she's got a chip on both shoulders. LOL

 

[The Gr8est]

I didn't like the Adrian Gonzalez trade at the time, that cost the Sox the same Anthony Rizzo, who just went deep,

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Peyton Kershaw strikes again in the playoffs

 

[Guts]

Kershaw = Manning
Bumgarner= Brady

 

[Deus Irae]

I'm a big fan of Francona, but the Cubs winning would be Ruth II - The executive.


You've got to go with the sequel.

I have no problem watching a Cubs collapse.

Problem is this team is legit. Great pitching. Great defense. Good hitting. Great manager. Swagger all around.
