    I was expecting him to bat 6th between Javy and Russell.

    I'm calling it now. Schwarber will be the World Series MVP.

    Struck out again. I'm the Jason Heyward of ticket lotteries.

    What a dick. I would cease to be friends with him.

    Great Joe West will be here to make sure we know that Joe West is an umpire in the WS. Joe West. Joe West. Also, it looks kind of like Game 1 at least will be rained out. Which way do they rotate? In other words, will West be behind the plate at any time in the series?

    If I was a player on the Indians, I would expect my whole family to root against me in this series and I would be OK with that.

    For Ron Santo- Possibly the biggest Cubs fan ever. He was a terrible announcer but god did I love listening to him cheer & groan along with us as Pat told us what was actually happening. For Ernie Banks- The name Mr. Cub says it all. For Jack Brickhouse- The first announcer I heard call a Cubs game. For Harry Caray- The voice of the Cubs for most of my childhood. For our own Fred Hornkohl- I never had the pleasure to meet him but I always loved his posts on the game threads and felt like I got to know him through the posts of many of you here. And for my old man- My dad was right up there with Santo in his love for the Cubs. He was giddy like a little kid when he got to meet his hero Billy Williams and get his picture with him. Then the next year at spring training he actually got Tom Ricketts to get Billy to sign his picture for him. He is the reason I love the Cubs so much. Many times over the years I cursed him for making me a fan but I can't thank him enough now. We spent so many hours bonding while watching games together at home and at Wrigley. This experience is somewhat bittersweet because he's no longer here but I found a way to take him to the World Series with me. http://i.imgur.com/ezGAQhY.jpg

    Bought my plane tickets a few months ago. I fly in on Thursday and have tickets to games 3 & 4.

    I was at a bar in Dallas with at least 100 Cubs fans. What an amazing experience. Then I went out to a friend's birthday party and went crazy until closing time. And of course on the way home my horsefeathering car breaks down. I was just told it's the fuel pump. I knew SOMETHING was going to horsefeathers up my night at least somewhat. But screw it, the Cubs are going to the World Series and I will be at Wrigley for games 3 & 4!

    I imagined it would be Seal Boy, Unless they want to keep the extra pitcher (Z). I figured the plan was to bring Seal Boy back after they didn't need the extra lefty out of the pen. I would think it's more likely they bring Szczur to the active roster. Extra OF since Schwarber wouldn't be able to play the field and Szczur is right handed instead of LaStella or Coghlan, lefthanders. Plus his bats have all those hits in them, amirite?

    So now comes the inevitable question. How can we watch that game online tonight????????
  14. Old Style
    Reading that gave me a full on sports boner.

    Too bad this game is on an off night for the World Series. But it is on Halloween so maybe we should all just go trick or treating instead of watching this abortion of a football team.

    I love me some Kim DeJesus.

    I know but not everyone here is a Cubs fan.

    My dad had to be rushed to the ER right before Game 7 started. He wouldn't let me go with him because of the game. His excuse was that he needed me to text game updates to my sister so he could know what was going on while his life was hanging in the balance. He was the biggest Cub fan I ever met and it kills me that he passed before he could see the fruits of the Theo/Hoyer regime. Winning the WS without him will be bittersweet for me whenever that happens.

    That's because it's all the national media idiots and non-Cub fans can talk about right now. I almost want to watch Game 6 in a bar with no sound so I don't have to hear Joe horsefeathers opine endlessly about Steve horsefeathering Bartman.
  21. Old Style
    One actual post about the game? :lol:
  22. Old Style
    He's saying that there was no chance for a DP on Gonzalez's error? Am I remembering that incorrectly? I thought that was a tailor made double play ball.
  23. Old Style
    I am going to be COMPLETELY distracted until game time tomorrow night.
  24. Old Style
    Can it be Saturday night please?
  25. Old Style
    Roberts? Fixed. Don't ask me why I had Johnson on the brain. Don't worry. We accept your kind here. We don't discriminate.
