I'd give anything to be in Chicago this weekend. This is better than Christmas.

[David]

Date is wrong again lmao

[Sammys Boombox]

Cannot wait to see how many Cubs fans are on my flight tomorrow and then how much Cubs gear will be at the airport and on the El.

[Banedon]

Date is wrong again lmao

I've decided all I want is for the Cubs to have a 3-1 lead in the series and go into the 9th inning of game 5 with a lead so big that Travis Wood, longest tenured Cub, can close it out in Wrigley and none of us (even Tim) will break a sweat

35 hours until World Series baseball at Wrigley Field.

A Jon Lester complete game would be an acceptable alternative.

I'd settle for a 16 inning nail-biter where the bullpen gets exhausted and David Ross gets the World Series winning save.

I want a Schwarber homer to cement himself as World Series MVP so bad.

[Boris]

As much as I'm loving the Schwarber story, I think Kris is going to be the money player this weekend. He's gonna crack at least 3 homers.

[Bull]

Take us home Fred.

If he gets MVP, I think it's gonna be more because of the story than anything. Presuming he can't play the field in the Wrigley games, he's just not gonna get the AB's, and Zobrist has been just as good.

That's where the heroic pinch hit home run comes in. Maybe he needs to do it twice to make sure. But he's going to do it.

This whole thing still feels so surreal to me. I am a fan of many sports teams but the Cubs have always been #1, and seeing the Cubs in a World Series (much less winning one) has been my ultimate number 1 sports dream for as long as I can remember. When you want something and think about it so much and it actually comes true, it's kind of hard to really 'get' what is happening in the moment. Like I know the Cubs are in the World Series, I know they are 3 wins away from a title, but when I watch the games it doesn't fully click that this is what's happening, and I'm not sure it will until sometime over the winter.

 

I'm not sure if what I said makes any sense.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

And even if he doesn't, I'd be beyond thrilled if he can feel like he contributed to us winning the World Series.

i just watched the schwarbs third-inning "suck my dick" rbi single again. so freaking good lol

No. It makes perfect sense. I feel like I'm in a trance. We've been following them all year -- our whole lives, actually. And it just kinda crept up on us. I can see it with my own eyes. But I don't really understand it. The Cubs are in the horsefeathering World Series and Kyle Schwarber came back to join them. I don't know how to process it.
