What would you do if/when the Cubs win the World Series?

[Rusch33]

Seriously, what would you do?

 

I think I would sit down and actually be man-enough to admit that I would cry and be like no way man.

 

What about you guys?

[TruffleShuffle]

Wake up from that awesome dream I was having.

[Coach C]

Seriously, what would you do?

 

I think I would sit down and actually be man-enough to admit that I would cry and be like no way man.

 

What about you guys?

 

To be honest with you.... I don't know....

 

I would probably be shocked, stunned that the Cubs finally won something they haven't won for almost a century. But then Boston did the year before, so *shrug*

 

I would most likely be celebrating, whooping, and a relieved crying, as if the whole Cub Nation had this big burden lifted off our backs.

[Ryan]

I would be a different fan. A different type. It'd be less special. I'd feel sad about that. Happy about finally achieving it... but bitersweet.

[EricG]

drink very heavily and party for a few days, maybe get a tattoo to comemorate it

[Brian]

I'll be at Wrigley Field partying it up

[Outshined_One]

My list, in no order:

 

1) Call my mom, who grew up watching Cubs games on WGN way back in the day and is still a pretty big fan even now. Plus she's convinced the Cubs will never win a WS in her lifetime, so this would be a fun topic of conversation.

 

2) Call my sister, who's just as passionate and loves the Cubs as much as I do.

 

3) Call every single other Cubs fan I know. Likely topics of conversation: "Oh my God!" "I...I can't believe it..." "This isn't a dream, is it?" "*Expletive deleted* YEAH! *expletive deleted* YEAH!" and so on...

 

4) If I'm not already, get absolutely hammered during celebrations with other Cubs fans. Stay that way for at least two or three days.

 

4a) In doing so, give cheers to every current and former Cub, even guys like Todd Hundley and Mel Rojas.

 

4b) Also give cheers to every Cub fan who never saw a Cubs WS championship in their lifetimes. Deceased family and friends to be cheered individually.

 

4c) And while we're at it, toast Ron Santo about 40 times for being the biggest Cubs diehard ever to live while living out the dream of starting at third base and broadcasting for his favorite team.

 

5) Hit on any female who is wearing Cubs gear.

 

6) Happily shed tears at least 8-9 times within five hours of that victory.

 

7) Hug everyone wearing Cubs gear.

 

8) Walk around in a dream-like daze for the next month or so.

 

8a) During said time, have one of two looks on my face: utter disbelief and total bliss and happiness.

 

9) Likely have at least two unexpected irrational breakdowns when it really hits me that the Cubs won it all.

 

10) Buy almost every single piece of merchandise that comes out dedicated to the Cubs' WS win. DVDs, shirts, jerseys, hats, you name it.

 

11) Attempt to get my voice back after running it hoarse throughout the playoffs and WS victory.

 

12) Go home to Chicago to attend all of the victory celebrations and likely parade.

 

13) Die happy.

[burnt out cubbie fan]

After all of the celebrating, I would probably think about my grandpa. He was a Cubs fan his whole life (and was actually their cook for a year or two during spring training when they were at Catalina Island) and it really is a shame that he could never see a championship during his lifetime. Even in the last days of his life, we talked about the Cubs every time I went to visit him.

[UMFan83]

I have a lot of friends that are Boston fans, and I pretty much know what to expect based on their reactions that fateful night. They took all the fun out of it :(

Drive my hovercar to the first interspace station I could find and book a trip off planet because the world was finally coming to an end...

[Brucecubsaol.com]

:D :D :D :D

 

I would certainly die happy. I am a New York based Cub fan

who remembers well the 1945 Series. I am also 73 years old, so I

don't have too many chances remaining. I leave the anticipation to

the young bloods.

Well...

 

After I finished crying and hugging my wife, who is just as much of a Cub fan as anybody, I'd have to TRY to find the words to explain to my kids why I was crying like a little girl! They're all in their teenage Cub fans, but I don't think they fully comprehend their "heritage".

 

Then I'd spend a lot of time thinking about my grandfather, and my wife's grandmother, both of whom lived and died, and never saw the Cubs win a World Series. I'd end up crying some more.

 

Then, I'd call my brother-in-law and my nephews, who are Sox fans....

 

I work in Springfield, Illinois, which has to be the Mason/Dixon line between Cub fans and Cardinal fans, so....

 

When I finally composed myself enough to go to work, I'd get my boss, who is also a Cubs fan, then go to the office/cubicle of every one of my Cardinal fan co-workers and pepper them with abuse!

Don't bring the Boilers into this. That's just a cheap shot.

[erik316wttn]

I'd immediately turn on the Weather Channel and check the temperature of Hell to see if it was freezing over.

[TB_11]

I'd cry...... not just tears coming down my face mind you. I'd cry and weep like a little girl for 15 minutes. I've met too many people who have gone their entire lives not seeing a Cubs championship not to get caught up in the emotions.

 

After that I'd party it up so good I'd probably end up in jail. All I'd ask from the prison guard is to see the front cover of the following morning's newspaper to make sure it all wasn't a dream.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Let's just say I'd have to miss work the next day...

 

Hell, I might have to miss work the whole week.

Sorry GB it was too easy of a target.

[GlassCow]

Find the first hot chick in a Cubs hat and take her back to my place. Depending on the amount of energy left to me after the game, I may look for the first group of hot chicks in Cubs hats.

Hey rudd, I used to live there!

 

If the Cubbies won it all, I'd have to go back there and visit my dad's grave at Camp Butler.

 

He got to see them in a series (1945), but he never saw them win one. I have him to thank for raising me as a Cub fan, and I would have to have a drink with him if they won it all.

[cubweiser03]

I would totally party all night. If im at home id be watching the celebration in the street on wgn and watching all the replays of the game on espn news all night till the sun comes up the next day. Until i watch that sun comes up i wont be allowed to rest. No way am i going to work the next day. No way. I'll probaby make few drunk posts on nssb too.

The perfect post. You said EXACTLY what I wanted to. Of course, I would be calling my mom instead.

[BleedCubbieBlue81]

I'd cry...... not just tears coming down my face mind you. I'd cry and weep like a little girl for 15 minutes.

 

That's okay though, they're man tears. It's like when Old Yeller gets shot. It's okay to cry.

 

I'd probably do the same thing for a while. Then I'd hook up with my old buddy...

I wouldn't make it to work the whole week because I'd be up on my roof with a rifle picking off looters. There will be riots.

 

But maybe we should focus on getting to the playoffs first...
