Go Cubs, Go.

[Boner_18]

So, Cubs in the WS. Good on them. I'm fairly indifferent to the match up but I'll be routing for the Indians.

1. I tend to route for the AL.
2. I like a good drought.
3. Wrigley is a dump and I resent organizations who treat their fans poorly in this regard.
4. As far as former Yankee closers go I think I like Miller better.
5. Cleveland needs a win more (from a social and economic perspective).

I do like "Go Cubs, Go." I'm a fan of team specific victory songs and I'm anti music simply appropriated by teams (Yankees - NY, NY or Boston - Sweet Caroline).

Congrats to the Indians and Cubs. Now let's get it on.

Fuck the Cubs, their annoying fans (there are countless Cubs fans who have no connection to Chicago) and their woman beater closer.

Go Indians, Go.

 

[FairWarning]

I think everyone should root for the Indians, starting with all of the White Sox fans.

I will be pulling for the Tribe.

Beating Epstein, Lester - not easy.

uphill battle for tribe without a real starting rotation

Unfortunately they are like the Red Sox fans when they were about to win it now. I despised those fans.

Lifelong Cubs fan here.

Just messing.

Happy Battle of the Droughts, America. Canada will be watching.

I'm rooting for the Cubs and the best manager in baseball! I feel for Cleveland also but they got their title with the Cavs so city is good!

Just going back in my mind to the 69 season where team looked destine to make the NL playoff and hopefully advance to the WS and those bastard Amazing Mets took it from them! Poor Ernie Banks, Sweet Billy Williams, Santo, Kessinger, Beckert, Jenkins, Hundley, Holtzman, Johnson, Phillips, etc, etc, etc! And of course Leo the Lip! Names I still recall off the top of my head!

Yea, probably plenty of young punk Cub fans* but lots of old timers out there HOPING for a WS title before they leave this world!

*A few middle aged ones too it seems .....

I luv that song! Coug stop back and at least hello! We miss you!

I forgot about Cougar Bait. All the more reason to root against the Cubs next week. 2003 was a glorious time to be a Marlins fan. All the asshole Cubs fans in our ball park talking shit when they went up 3 games to 1 in the NLCS. Shit ended up a little different then they thought it would.

I think they should up the stakes. Not just winning the World Series but an immediate Hall of Fame rider.

If the Cubs win, Theo Epstein is auto-inducted, if the Indians win, Terry Francona.

A zany piece of pseudo-trivia: when Dexter Fowler leads off for the Cubs in the first inning, he will be the first black guy to play for the Cubs in a World Series ever.

Nice write up mr.M. btw I used to have a 1960 Ernie Banks baseball card. It was worth $50, had to sell it for gambling money. Alls well that ends well

Woah.

Not sure who to cheer for though. I basically like both teams. Guess I'll have to turn on a game at some point and see which way my gut goes with it.

i.e. who's ever uniforms are more sparkly

Watched a couple outs roundabout the top of the third. Seems that I am cheering for Cleveland.

Andrew Miller can suck my turgid cawk. Go Cubbies.
