I want to hear from the die-hards. The poor saps who go to Wrigley Field and actually watch the games, or watch them at home. The ones who have suffered broken hearts year after year.
Tell me what it would mean to watch the Cubs win a World Series.
I know they may not make it out of the first round, but you're allowed to dream. You do it every year.
Roman Modrowski is the online sports editor for the 
It means it is time to wake up and go to work in the morning, it is not going to happen this year, not with that bullpen. Not a die hard fan, but when these posters were slammin the Sox a few years back, just need to get my shot in.
It means they wouldn't have to "Play the Blues in Chicago" any more.... Win this thing for Steve Goodman and all the other lifelong Cubs Fans.. 1969 Bleacher Bum
Please don't ask us this question until Cubs are up 3 games to 0 in GAME 4 of the World Series in the 9th inning w/ 2 outs and 2 strikes no men on, up 15-0, and the batter for the opposing team is legally blind and missing half of his bat and is drunk. Then I will believe it is possible!
:oD However that would be nice if the Cubs would win once every 100 years.
A Cubs world series title would mean a heck of alot to me: I've been a hard-core fan since '89, the first time they broke my heart. I am 28 years old and I've grown up rooting for this team through the ups and downs. If it happens this year, I have to say that ironically (and I am only speaking for myself), it would have been one of least enjoyable seasons that I have witnessed. Any Cubs fan knows how it feels to sit at the edge of your seat and that's how this entire season has panned out. At least in 2003, they were purely dominating some facets of the game. This title would be comparable to how the Cardinals did it last year: under the radar.
For my husband, it would be his dream come true, I think he would cry like a baby! He watches or listens to every single game and was heartbroken when they didn't make it in 2003! We flew to Miami to see the last 2 games in the series there against the Marlins. It was tough!
I'd be pretty much indifferent to the Cubs winning, but as a Sox fan, it just means years and years of trash talk, despite the fact that I haven't said a thing about '05.
If the Cubs won the World Series this year I think I would have mixed feelings. On one hand, the dream would finally have come true but on the other hand, I would miss the west coast, because the only way it became possible was when the cities in the NL West fell into the Pacific.
My Grandpa was a huge Cubs fan, and he's the reason I became one. He passed away in 2003 before the season started, and I remember breaking down in tears when the Cubs won the NLDS. If the Cubs were to go all the way, it would just feel great to know that my Granpa could finally see from heaven what he was waiting for his whole life.
Go Cubs.
A cubs world series would mean that my life is complete. I could say That I saw the cubs win it all and then I could say that I got to work out with a championship ballclub. If they do win it all i'll probley cry tears of joy first then party.
GO CUBSB
MY, MY, MY, What to say!! I love the Cubs. I know that I would be crying tears of joy if the Cubs win the World Series. I would have to miss work for the parade. I would pray that I wouldn't have a heart attack for all the excitement. GO CUBS GO
As the Cubs win the World Series, I can turn to my South-Side-White-Sox lovin boyfriend and say "How about dem White Sox? When was the last time they won a World Series?" We Cubs fans have got a little sick of tired of the South Siders and their bragging!
After being a Cub for over 30 year and going through all the lean year. It mean every thing
After being a Cub for over 30 year and going through all the lean year. It mean every thing
1956 is the first time I watched the Cubs play. I was five years old and my routine was come home from school and turn the television on and watch the Cubs. To me there was no other team and the Cubs were always on television. I was given a dose of them daily and I got to know and love them. They weren't very good, in fact they were lousy, but they were my Cubs and I watched them every day. Over the years I took pride in things that most people don't measure success in as a team, being proud of Ernie Banks earning back to back MVP awards in the late 50s, and a Cub or two making the All Star game, but the team always came up a loser. Then there was 69 and a lot of ultimate heartache. Then more losing and then 1984 which was a BIG heartache. Then more losing and then 1989 and another heartache. Feeble attempts in 1998 and the most pain every in 2003. I was in Manila, Philippines doing preparation for President Bush's visit to the Philippines and I was at the airport escorting a technician installing communications equipment at the airport. When I left the house the Cubs were winning 3-0 with prior on the mound and it was the 8th inning against the Marlins. I couldn't watch the gamecuz there were no televisions nor radios over there with them on. I called my son at home and asked for an update from the Internet and he told me 8-3 and I was so happy not knowing its was 8=3 Marlines. Unbelievable and a dagger in the heart.
I am so afraid of getting too confident and then getting disappointed once again, it happens time after time. However, IF they do get in and win the world series this will be a monumental achievement and Lou Piniella will be immortalized for life. They would need to build a statue of him and place it at the entrance of Wrigley Field. It would also inject a long overdue sense of pride into the Chicago Cub fan, something that has been wounded ever since I was born. So many people have suffered their entire lives and winning the world series would also go a long way towards making them believe that life is indeed fair if you are patient and if you believe hard and long enough.
"What would a Cubs World Championship mean to me?"
I think about it every single day. When I get up before dawn for my early morning run, when I sit in class trying to pay attention to the professor, when I sit on my computer at work looking at baseball statistics, when I eat meals at the McDonald's across Wrigley Field, when my head hits the pillow at night. I mention it to my girlfriend at least 3 times a day so I hope she's not getting sick of it. You get the drift.
The tears of unadulterated joy would flow without any type of remorse. The heartache of not having anything to look forward to in September and October would finally all be worth it if the Cubs were to win just once in my lifetime. It would be the ultimate validation for myself and a fan base that prides itself as being the very best in baseball.
Next Year Is Here, It's Gonna Happen, whatever works for you. I am on my knees praying that it will finally happen because as a sports fan, it would be the single greatest moment of my 21 years on this Earth.
I've been a season ticket holder since 1988 and a Cubs fan my entire life. A World Series win would mean that I could sit back in the years to come and not white-knuckle months like this. That I could actually enjoy a pennant race, rather than obsess about the many ways I've seen hope slip away in the past.
Most of all, it would mean I'd be the first in my family since my great-grandparents to be alive when the Cubs won the World Series.
Just reading the name "Cubs" and the phrase "World Series" in the same sentence in a daily newspaper is good enough for me.
The End of Days!
My 1st Cub game was in 1931 against the New York Giants. Carl Hubbell pitched a 1-0 shutout of them. My Dad was a Giants fan, because he was a boyhood friend of Freddy Fitzsimmon (a Giant pitcher}. My uncle was a Cub fan, so I became a Cub fan. I am now 82 yrs. old, and know that I would shed tears of happiness if the Cubs win a World Series.
It Would mean The World to me seen the cubs win the world series i been waiting for 23 yrs of my life and i hope that this is are year
It would literally mean everything to me, but the world to my father. I think both our lives would be complete if the Cubs won the World Series and I'm not even married yet! I would love to see the city of Chicago and central/northern Illinois would react to world champions.
well the last time the Cubs won the WS my grandmother was 14 years old. I remeber her saying on her 100th birthday she'd like to see them win again before she died, unfortunately a Steve Garvey homerun dashed her hopes just four months before she did die. My father died 5 years after inventing new swear words after the "Amazing Mets" caught and overtook the Cubs in '69 and went on to win the WS. One of my younger brothers made the statement 2 years ago that he wouldn't live long enough to see the Cubs win a WS, he died 6 months later. So what would a Cubs WS win mean to me? It would mean that my sons and daughter would not be going down a list of relatives, starting with thier grandmother, that have died since the Cubs last won a WS the next time they get to this point of the season in first place in thier division.
It would mean I could die a happy man. Ernie Banks was my hero (I was 10 when he was MVP), I suffered thru 1969 and all of the other playoff debacles. I have been waiting all of my life - just at least get to the World Series - a championship would be icing on the cake.
There is NOTHING on this earth that I wouldn't give for a World Series ring....NOTHING!
My Grandfather and Father were responsible for my being a Cub fan. Both have passed away. As a young boy, I was a Cub fan back in the late 50's and remember the 60's and 70's when there were many years of Marlin-like attendance figures. I was inconsolable in '84 and shocked in '03. To win would be a combination of feelings: shock, delirious jubilation, and peace. To be able to share that joy with a 4th generation Cub fan, my son, would be the greatest gift of all.
I lived in a Chicago suburb in the late 50's when I was 9 years old. Through thick and thin, I've been a loyal Cubs fan since. Have no fear, the curse has been broken. My wife and I got a new beagle puppy last November, and my daughter appropriately named him "Wrigley." He's the Cubs good luck charm and their ticket to being crowned 2007 World Champs. When the Cubbies take it all, I'll be on the first flight to Chicago to join in the celebration!
I would cry....Every memory of me and my Grandpa watching every game together...Rushing home from school to watch the end of the game... drinking his kick-ass lemonade, eating peanuts and licorice....with Ed... The Cubs and the Bears represent my Grandpa ....and he's always been my best memory
As I fly off in my fanboy cape.....big, red "H" on my chest...crying
I have always told my daughter that, at my funeral, I want them to play "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" by Steve Goodman. If the Cubs win the World Series, everything changes. Tears of happiness will flow but then all of Cubdom will in a state of confusion. Maybe it's not such a good thing.
I would break down and cry, then run around screaming Cubs Win, Cubs Win a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP for, oh, the rest of my life. Then I would get a giant tattoo on my left arm with the Cubs logo on it and around it would say, "Now I Can Die In Peace". My life would pretty much be complete from a fanatical diehard view. Then I guess I'd start following the Blackhawks more.
I don't want to talk about it until after they win.
True ecstasy, and I don't mean the drug!
Since I am one of those die-hards who watches virtually every game, and have been a season-ticket holder for over 30 years, it's hard for me to put into words what this would mean. All I know is that if I have a heart attack while this is happening, just spread my ashes over home plate! But I do know this will be very emotional.
A Cubs World Series Title, would mean I would finally forgive them for 1969..........I still haven't gotten over that(LOL)
You Cub fans kill me. Here are the cubs barely leading the worst division in baseball and you are already crowning them champs. Wont you guys ever learn? They wont make it out of the first round.
As a Cub fan since 1940 ( I was 6 then ),I'm actually a little surprised that my world would change very little if the Cubs took it all. Maybe it's age, but my perspective would be that it's about time, so let's do it two or three years in a row to make up for the previous century.Strange as it seems,I think I would be more excited about a Bear Super Bowl win, perhaps because of all the adversity Rex G. has suffered. There would be such delicious irony if he beat Romo for the NFC championship and P. Manning in the Super Bowl. That would totally blow my mind.
"As the Cubs win the World Series, I can turn to my South-Side-White-Sox lovin boyfriend and say "How about dem White Sox? When was the last time they won a World Series?" "
Hm, 2 years ago?
It would be nice to see the Cubs Win it all and the Bears to return back to the Super bowl. But, at this point my odds are in favor of the Cubs going to the Series. I grew up in the city many years ago and have always followed the cubs. So, as the days past on let us wait and see if our long waited dream will come true....GO CUBS!!!!!!!!!
That when it's all over, I can think of all of my family and friends, who are no longer with us, that never got to enjoy this moment. I'll revel for them also. Then the next morning, when I realize the season is over, I don't have to come to grips with the fact that the Cardinals or White Sox are Champs. The past two finales have been tough.
Hell Freezes Over.......
A victory in the Series would mean that my wife could rest, and my daughter Addison and I could complete the best year of our lives! She was born last October on my colleges Homecoming Game, they Lost every game that year but the one she was born on, and she attended every basketball game too and they won every game there as well so she brings luck and hopefully god willing the Cubs make the World Series we both need tickets so we can bring her luck to Wrigley!!! By the way my University is Utah State University, and that homecoming game was vs. Fresno State and it was a miracle as she is, so she can bring her miracle to the CUBS!!!
My dad died right before Christmas last year and he had been a Cubs fan all his very long life((92 years)so this winning season and all the fun it's brought all the Cubs fans I know is making him smile. This is for you Dad.
Penny
I would turn to my Cardinals buddy, look him straight in the eye. And say, "It is the dawn of a new century."
It won't mean anything to anyone because it isn't going to happen!!
BILLY GOAT CURSE!!!! RIDE THE GOAT!!!
GO SOX!!!! The REAL World Series Champions!
I dont know...I kinda like being the losingest team in sports history. Its sort of a badge of honor. I saw it when Boston lost finally won it. They sort of lost their identity a bit.
But then again.....
It would be huge. I'd probably leave Chicago after the celebration, as there's no way that party and that moment would ever be topped in this town. Ever.
Until this year I never really paid any attention to the cubs let alone baseball in general. Then I met this guy named Andy that was the biggest, most avid cubs fan I had ever seen. Primarily because his family was from Chicago and his grandpa was a huge fan as well. Emotionally I can tell it's been a rough year for him being as his grandfather was soon to pass away. I know how important it was for him for his grandpa to see the cubs have an amazing season to go away with. His grandfather passed away last week and I know the burden he feels and what a single cubs game means to him. I couldn't tell you how happy I would feel for him to see the cubs win the world series, because I know how much it would mean to him. I may not be a true cubs fan, but I know the excitement I would feel for Andy to get this single gratitude he could carry with him forver.
John G took the words right out of my mouth. I would probably cry and then yell my head off. I live in Indianapolis, and I would get all my neighbors out of their houses so we could spend a little while dancing in the street like we were on Rush street.
Then, I would start hoping for the Hawks to win the Stanley Cup.
I think I'd have to invest in salt, because tons of it would be needed when hell froze over!
All I would be able to think of is my Grandfather, who won the chance to buy tickets in '84 to a Cubs World Series. It would bring tears to my eyes to think of how happy he'd be to see this.
HEY.... lets get there first! Just to see the cubs IN the world series would be something!
What it truly would mean for the Cubs to win it all is beyond words. I've been a huge Cubs fan since I can remember, almost 30 years. I've watched them in the good and the bad (even really bad) years. I know that they aren't even in the playoffs yet and as a lifelong fan I do know the history, but I also know about hope and optimism. I've been through all the ups and downs with this team since spring training and we're on the cusp of something incredible. Will I be heartbroken if it doesn't work out? Absolutely. But I'll always believe they can do it and when (not if) they finally are World Series Champions, I'll be among the many true fans who will be happy beyond belief.
Not much...I'm still bummed about the Bears.
It would complete a long life. I'm 82 and have been a suffering fan for 75 years. My grandma convinced me to switch loyalties from Sox to Cubs when I was 6 in 1932 (She had a crush on Pat Flanagan the WBBM Cub announcer). That was a good Cub year that ended horribly against the Yankees and the Babe hitting that dinger off Charlie Root. I lived in Park Ridge in those days and now that I'm thousands of miles northwest I've carried the team along wherever I've been. I don't want to wait for 2008 and a century of frustration. I want it now and, as the Cards showed last year, know it's possible. Go Cubs.

I want them to win it after their Centential. 98 years is too obscure.
My love for the Cubbies has lasted for more than forty years, I remember sitting in the centerfield bleachers, rooting for Ernie, Ron, Billy, Glenn, Don, Randy, Fergie, and all the rest. I cannot describe the joy I would feel if the present Cubs could win one for all those that came before, so many great teams, so much sorrow. I have lived in eight states, and have watched the games religiously on WGN, so, here we go again. GO CUBBIES!!!
everything.
I would have to finally tell my sons that there is another baseball team in Chicago.
The Cubs won't sneak under the radar like the Cardinals did last year. Only 2 teams have won the World Series in the past 20 years with fewer than 90 victories during the regular season: last year's Cardinals and the 1999 Yankees. Do you really think lightning will strike twice two consecutive years? Especially with the Cubs' luck? Yeah, right. Cub fans are better off having 7th-inning stretch love fests and naming their kids (and their dogs) after their crumbling stadium.
I've always tried to teach my kids that no matter how good the Cubs seem to be doing, they always find a way to screw it up. You have to be prepared for disappointment being a Cubs fan. (and for some reason my 8-yr.-old son has rebelled and has become a Cubs fan! Damn White Sox!) If they actually win the World Series, I guess it would mean I'd have to find a way to tell them I'm not always right. But I would definitely be thinking about my grandparents, who were both die-hard Cub fans. I know that sounds generic, but I always remember them driving from their house on the north side for an hour to get to our house in the south suburbs, but waiting in their car in our driveway until it was between innings to come inside. I don't know if they get WGN where they are now, but they're definitely listening.
I like the post about not discussing it until it's game four of the World Series (Cubs up 3-0) with two outs in the top of the 9th with the Cubs leading 15-0, 0 and 2 pitch count with a blind hitter at the plate that has consumed 3 handles of Jack Daniels.
Honestly though, I think that it's going to have a negative backlash for Cubs fans throughout the country. People will no longer long for them to win; like the Red Sox before them.
What will it mean for me personally? I don't know what I will do. I know one thing for sure, I'm riding the Piniela band wagon and not putting the cart in front of the horse. Let's just get to the playoffs and go from there. If people expect to win they will fear losing. If they fear losing they sabotage their own desires. One stepping stone at a time.
I have mixed feelings.Really. I have been a huge fan for over 40 years and have gotten to the point where I believe the chase may be better than achieving the goal. We have our own lives to live and cannot put too much empahasis on a bunch of millionaire baseball players to make us feel whole. You can look as the Cubs as a metaphor of chasing a dream that when you are old and wise seemed like a childish fantasy that held you back from blazing your own trail in life. i.e. (lottery ticket fantasizers.)
It means I can go in peace and live my life in hapiness in joy. It means I can remember my grandfather and all the times we watched the game together. It means I can thank my Dad and uncle for teaching me the great game of baseball and the Cubs. It means I can sit here with my own kids and show them history in the making. It means I can finally stop hearing from everyone I tell that I am a Cubs fan, that the last time the Cubs won was 1908.
"As the Cubs win the World Series, I can turn to my South-Side-White-Sox lovin boyfriend and say "How about dem White Sox? When was the last time they won a World Series?"
Uhhh, 2005?? You can count the number of years on one hand! When was the last time the Cubs won a Series. Hell, back in October 2005, every sports team in Chicago had a game scheduled EXCEPT the Cubs!!
I will have to learn how to write with my left hand because my right arm would be gone.
Words cannot even come close to portraying the feeling we would feel. If we stick with Dempster in the first round, we are toast, if we use Marmol as closer the Cubbies can really make some noise. Dempster is like GrossMAN, great person, but can't trust him to do his job.
THE WORLD!!!!
If it's a tough year for sure for White Sox fans but this Cubs team leaves me in knots. They are suppose to be my mortal enemy and we often think of them as the weak kid in school everyone picks on. Sharing the same city we try to stand up for them.
But what's a White Sox fan to do when he's a fan of both the coach & the players?
This Cubs team is not home grown by any stretch of imagination. It's a product of guys that have been mostly above average for most of their careers with the contracts to prove it. I'm a big Soriano fan because I always felt the Yankees screwed themselves when they traded him for A-Rod.
Soriano is the closest think to Shoeless Joe the league has today. He can beat you with his speed, his glove, his arm, or his bat & best of all he knows the game. He rarely makes the dumb mistake.
I ADMIT IT! I CAN'T HELP BUT ROOT FOR THE GUY!
I can't imagine who can. He's been overshadowed by A-Rod his whole career & yet when it's all said & done he might prove to be the better all-around player in the end.
A World Series Cubs title would be severely diminished for me if NBC 5 doesn't bring back Amy Jacobson for some hot and sweaty live tavern reports.
Roman responds: Great post!
I couldn't whine about them anymore.
Roman responds: Would it be worth it?
It would just mean I'd have to harken back to 1969, 1984, 1989 and 2003 when talking to my idiot Cub-fan friends.
It would be the last Cubs game for a while because some alcoholic in denial (like the one that was sitting behind me in the bleachers on Saturday), in a fit of celebratory energy, would probably burn down the stadium or shoot Carlos Zambrano.
And before you ask why I would go to Wrigley a.k.a. the world's largest garbage can when I can't stand the Cubs, their uniforms, their stadium or their fans, know this: I didn't have to pay for my ticket, it was my girlfriend's birthday and I wanted some lovin.
Amy did have some salacious moments during the BEARS last campaign. But if the CUBs won the series it would be great for the city. It's a shame it wouldn't unite us because everyone has their loyalties. No one wants either to do well. If the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup I'd be proud even though I wouldn't know any of them even if you told me their names and showed me a picture. CUBs were my first team I loved. Met Ernie back in 75 after my house burned down. He sent us tickets but we didn't get them until after the game had passed. Just meeting him made me a fan. I'd be happier for him because he really endured a lot of lean years and was usually the face of the CUBS. Hey, he's MR. CUB.

Im still peeing in my proverbial pants after reading this post yesterday...
It has to go in Funniest post of the year nominee catagory!
Having witnessed their meltdown in Florida & expecting more of the same in Cinn isn't it pre-mature to even think of a World Series for a team that is likely to back it's way into the post-season?
Yes, I know STL did it with a similar win total last year but I think that team was on fire down the stretch. The Cubs are as cold as can be right now.
Nothing.
I was born in 46 almost exactly one year after cubs last series versus Detroit. In my time Bears,Bulls,Milwaukee Braves,Bucks & of course White Sox have each won it all. Could this year be cubs turn?? I know allot of tears will be shed if that happens!Each one of us will be thinking of those whom are only with us in spirit . Knowing that they are cheering from a higher ground along with us!The guy Id be most happy for is Ron Santo.Long over due for Hall .
life changing!!! life would never be the same...
It will be a biblical sign of Armaggedon.
I have no question in my mind that I would cry like a dropped baby if the Cubs ever won the World Series. Soon after, all my friends would disappear with the rapture and the 4 horsemen will appear in the fiery sky to trumpet the end of the universe.
Like they say in Chicago, " There two major baseball teams in the city, one is the White Sox, and the other is any team that beats the yubi Cubs! Go "Dbacks!"
That my Grandfather got his wish and I can actaully say "Hey my Cubbies won the World Series, and your Padres what??" I'm currently living in San Diego because I'm in the military but I make sure they know I'm a CUBS fan!!! So it will be nice to laugh at everyone who talked crap about my Cubbies!
Absolutely nothing. I'm a White Sox fan...
I have to be honest, as a White Sox fan I think I secretly hope that the Cubs choke in the World Series. None the less it would be nice to see them finally win a championship. It's been too long and they deserve it. For all of you who think we are always braggin. It's not that we're braggin its just that we need to always stay on our toes because you North Siders always and I mean ALWAYS has something negative to say. Hey we won the WS two years ago and I can die one hella of a happy man for witnessing such an exciting event. Since we already achieved the ultmate prize that once prominantly fueled the rivalry before our friends from up north, I think it would be nice for them to finally win one.
Go Cubs! I'm still a die hard White Sox fan FOR LIFE!
What would it mean to me? Absolutely Nothing!!! Another day in the life of a working Chicagoan...
It means nothing. Before you start celebrating, the Cubs have a way of disappointing their fans. Go SOX!
In July, 1962, I broke my ankle in Little League, and had a cast up to my hip: the prescribed therapy in those days. Thus, I had to sit at home on the couch. The CUBS were on nearly every afternoon on WGN and I kept the stats and watched the guys, Williams, Banks, Santo, etc. I became a fan of all those guys and then the CUBS and here we are 45 years later. Thanks for doing this. Howard
It would mean a great deal to the players, as they're the ones doing the work. It would mean nothing to me, as I try not to tie my emotional life to the playing of a sport by others.
A cubs world series championship to mean would mean absolutely nothing. I used to be a white sox and a cubs fan because i really did not care for baseball, but after i saw what happened after the White Sox won and people were mad on the North Side and crying and calling it the worst day ever in Chicago Sports i hope its another 100 years before they win hahaha GO BARTMAN!!!!
I'll pay for BARTMAN to sit on the park if anyone can find him
Well, the pep rally was a little over the top....confirmation all this playoff business is foreign to Cubdom...and if that's our celebration for just making the playoffs....oh boy...(I would like to go on the record now as a ever-lovin Cubs fan, but not a member of Cubdom)...now I see how White Sox fans evolved
Ours, tho, won't be the only city to burn down if the Cubs win....America will burn... and get looted if this happens ..cuz they have no business beating the Yanks this year...that's a lot of mayhem...billy clubs, tasers, and mace for everyone...
Just think, tho....people in Montana will be reporting joy crimes....My Uncle Ted spent some time out there....he's from Chicago...and a Cubs fan, too...I know...morbid, mayhem, and manifestos...all the way to Montana...
that sounds like a horoscope....Georgia Nicols rules my life...
Wake up people, nobody is beating the 10 runs/game Yankees this year...if you've noticed...they got healthy..and Roger for good measure...
When Cuban (that looks like Cubdom, huh?) gets our team, you'll grow to understand winning in a dominating way...it rules
and it looks like the Cubbies are gonna start with ARod....yay
I think we do go to the World Series this year...We lose....Montana tack rooms unscathed...Uncle Ted's Cabin still dismantled....but....WE take their freaking player...and dominate next year for years..... with Cuban ...
and Lou...
he's a Yankee....of the Billy Martin variety....I can't expect you to understand....Just do that drunk, unsynchronized tomahawk chop you do so well...lol...yeah...I could relate
LOL, We're Chicagoans...we eat beefs and drink pony kegs...and you want us to tomahawk chop?...at the same time?
I woulda looked just as drunk and stupid as you guys....damn, I'm glad I'm home
Go Cubs...
Roman responds: I was ready to go off on the rally, too, but turns out it was suggested by Major League Baseball for all playoff cities.
In the euphoria and Cub-love that followed, it would mean that Ron Santo would finally get voted into the Hall of Fame. Even the ice that encrusts hard-hearted Joe Morgan would melt under the force of "Cub Nation."
one word: APOCALYPSE!
ok then...MLB determined we should look stupid and we obliged...
I wish I coulda gotten liquored up at noon...and jammed out to "Go Cubs Go" all day..wow....that's a wrist slitter right there..
lol, we brought out the Governor, The Mayor, Ernie, Andre?....I watched this?
Santo shoulda come down like David Lee Roth on a wire....and yes...to the song 'jump'
Wish we had something like the Brickhouse Twins...that would rock...
Cuban should buy us those....both of 'em
Laser light show of Harry doing the Cub fan/Bud man Commercial...
Enough to give you the spins if your hammered enough...at Noon
I just want them to win so everyone can shut up. I am tired of hearing about how they haven't won since they have been playing in that dump Wrigley Field. Just do it and shut the F up, please for the love of God. I can't stand it anymore.
i am a 23 year old junior going to the university of florida, i wear my cubbie blue shirts every time i get the chance (meaning when they are clean) its pretty similar to the uf blue, i worked in wrigley , i lived near wrigley, went to school in south side so i was forced to hear about them sox, to me this would be beyond my wildest dreams i have not live long enough to feel the pain of those who been arround longer, but i only dream of taking my kid to his first cubbies game eat a hot dog and have a coke just like my dad did to me, its not a game its part of our lives, its embedded in each cell of the eternal hope that one day all the money and energy that we have put on it might just turn into proving that nobody cant have 100 yearsof bad luck. I would cry, i would get drunk somehow get to my apartment and i guess i would be skipping class the next day unless i have an exam then i'll skip all the above and just cry, the next day I would buy every sovenier available online.
What would a Cubs win in the World Series mean to me? All of my family who have gone up to the great ivy covered park in the sky - my parents, uncles, aunts, some cousins - this is our TEAM! This is OUR DREAM! I've been bit since the Cubs are Great in 68! Santo, Banks, Williams, Jenkins, Brickhouse! These have been the most welcomed visitors to my home. Even sitting alone in my den watching a game, I am not alone. I am witness for all of those die-hards who are no longer here....cheering, rooting, sighing, HOPING! It doesn't just mean a lot to us here - it means a lot to Heaven, too :) This has got to be the year!!
We went to the mall in PV and bought the last Cubs hat and shirt in the entire place. I hear there re still 10K tickets left here in AZ. Nice....gotta love west coast fan bases.
Anyone need 2 for Wednesday??
It would mean nothing to me. I am a White Sox fan.
Sooooo Roman....I was watching the end of the Pads/Rockies broadcast and I heard one of the "analysts" refer to the Rockies as a "Team of Destiny". I was eh....just wondering what the rules on that are.....is there allowed to be more than one "Team of Destiny"? Do the Cubs and Rockies have to have a Destiny-off?
Roman responds: It all depends on your definition of "destiny." By the way, that was an awful call to end the game. Barrett blocked the plate. The ump's call was late. Poor.
