THE CUBS ARE 2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS!

Been a fan since '70. Never thought I'd see this. I'm drinking champagne, watching the post game celebration and posting on NSBB. Am I doing this right? -

Want audio of the last out by Pat Hughes! -
This is the best! The best!!!
-
awesome autocorrect, and yes that happened. This needs to be a thing. That foul tip caught him right in the member berries. That took some pretty big member berries to throw that pitch in that situation. Andrew Miller can suck my member berries.

STILL ALIVE!!!

CUBS WIN!!!

TWO!!!

Dear Aroldis, Please strike out the side on nine pitches. Love, Every Cub fan living and dead.

Here we go!

The running game for the Cubs is suddenly a thing!
-
I'd be very surprised if they pitch to Contreras with nobody on and two out.
-
BREATHE!!!

Isn't this supposed to be fun?

This is my least favorite of all the nonsense reasons trying to explain the Cubs offense being inconsistent. You know what makes you really inconsistent? When half your games have Kershaw/Hill/Jansen or Kluber/Miller/Allen throwing 99% of the innings. Even if you want to misuse pitch value stuff from Fangraphs the Cubs were middle of the road against curveballs. Also, the Indians starter who throws the most curves? Bauer, the starter the Cubs knocked around. So please, spare me the theories that teams unlocked the secret sauce to stopping the Cubs offense. The answer is be really good and/or make really good pitches, and that answers the question for every baseball team ever. EDIT: This is not directed at you, Cubfanintheknow, I know you're just a messenger here. It's just been several weeks of various folks trying to find a reason in pitch values and you don't need to go that deep. No offense taken. It's been that kind of series. :twisted:

Ran into Pedro Gomez outside of Wrigley Field this morning. He said advanced analytics by playoff teams showed the Cubs have trouble hitting off speed stuff, especially curves. The Dodgers knew it but couldn't execute. The Indians know it and so far have worked it to near perfection. With that said, he really likes the Cubs chances tonight.

Got you by a few. I was of legal drinking age. 20 in '84. Been through a lot. This is the best! So far. :wink:

He did it again!!! JAVY!!!

Here comes the 5 outs crap.
-
Kyle Hendricks is pitching a masterpiece! Amazing!
-
Marlins guy in the background. How does that guy do it?
-
This last half-hour is the worst!

Also a measure to help with the site slowing down, as long as you're logged in things should be business as usual. Thanks! I don't always log on to check out what's going on. But I'll get into the habit.

What happened to the game threads? What did I miss?

The thing that has me most upset is now our WS championship won't measure up to the one that the White Sox won because of tonight's loss.
