A few thoughts.....

 

- Happy for all of us, but happiest for David. He was frustrated and annoyed today and showed some raw message board emotion, but he never stopped watching even though he questioned why he hadn't shut the TV off.

 

- Every so often when it gets late in a game your mind simulates the outcome already. Mine had already chalked this up as a loss, and it's always amazing when this happens. It makes the win even more exciting.

 

- Right after KB's hit and as the game-tying run was scoring, I jumped up and instead of yelling an expletive "hell yeah" I instead started singing Zobrist's "Benny" walk up music. Absolutely should delete this part but it's true.

 

- I'm simply shocked at the emotions and nerves I feel for a July baseball game. I had always told myself that if the Cubs ever won a World Series, those nerves could never again be there. Damn, for me, I was wrong. Yet, it's a welcome emotion.

 

Sometimes in a tight game I will stop watching and let the board tell me what happened. When I refreshed with Molina up and there was at least one new post, I knew the next thing I read was going to be really good or really bad.

 

It was Duke saying to fly the W.

 

Today was a good day.

my old (pre-2017) emotional investment kicked back in over the past week with the return of the super cubs

Random thing that only interests me:

 

The Cubs are in the middle of a stretch from June 20-August 1st where they play just 2 home night games. Those games were/are on a Saturday and a Sunday

Anyone know off hand how many consecutive years it's been since a WS winner made the playoffs the following year? I think I heard something the other day but I forgot what they said.

Im ready to meatball. I hate the mother horsefeathering Cardinals. Offense horsefeathers the bed and horsefeathers over Lester bigtime. & Worst of all to the carcass of stupid ass Wainwright.

 

Plz put a 3 spot up here and kill these horsefeathering Cardinals. Im infuriated.

 

I'd settle for 3 hits today.

 

Id like to point out I Meatballed hard.. tore up my living room a bit but still kept some hope on that 3 spot.

 

Moral of the story.. never go full meatball.

2011 Cardinals

Yeah I think Cardinals for making the playoffs at all. I think I remember hearing a little while ago that it hasn't been since 2008/2009 (phillies) that the WS winner won their division the next year.

Yep that sounds right. 09 Yankees won wild card in 10

 

If my memory is correct I think you have to go back to the 01/02 Diamondbacks to find the next one. So 1 WS winner has won their division the next year over the last 15 years
