  1. [tweet] [/tweet] Man I love Bryzzo
  2. Team with long drought finally wins the World Series and sees their beloved Centerfielder bolt to their arch rivals. Where have I seen that before?
  3. Crane politely tells Cubs fans that their artwork is not welcome at Wrigley Field permanently.
  4. This means that 7 Cubs will have finished in the top 4 of major award balloting over the last 4 years, possibly as many as 9 depending on whether Rizzo finishes 4th in NL MVP and Joe in MOY.
  5. Is any of this meaningful news?
  6. Saw this on Reddit...David Ross hitting a grand slam off Jake in 2011
  7. Theo eats a goat in the Wrigley bleachers the day after we won http://www.barstoolsports.com/baseball/after-the-cubs-won-the-world-series-theo-epstein-ate-a-horsefeathering-goat-in-the-left-field-bleachers-at-wrigley/ Edit: I think the swear filter messed up the link. Just google it
  8. Finally got to watch them last night as whenever they've played there's either been a Cubs game, or I needed a break from sports on a Cubs off day/post-title. Anyways they look pretty good. It's a long season but the Hawks were regularly being abused by teams like the Stars last regular season, and here they just swept a home and home. Looks like the defense is inconsistent but talented and improving. Overall I think a combo of a long offseason for the first time since 2012 and an influx in young hungry players has made the regular season more of a priority for the team rather than a grind to make it to the playoffs.
  9. I hope Dex had a good enough season that he doesn't get screwed by the QO process again if the Cubs choose not to re-sign him.
  10. Cubs brought the WS trophy to the Hawks game tonight. Schwarber, Heyward and Montgomery came out with the trophy and W flag. David Ross participated in the Shoot the Puck thing in between periods.
  11. I just watched a YouTube video that was the final out of the last 65 World Series. It was 13 minutes long and I watched every second watching the Yankees, Dodgers, As, Reds, etc celebrating past titles. The whole time I'm just waiting and anticipating our turn. I get past the White Sox part and realize for the first time it doesn't sting, I get through the Giants 3 titles and then the Royals and suddenly it's there in all its glory. We finally fit in amongst all the past champions. As awesome as the immediate joy of winning the title is, I think it's the little things like this that really make it awesome. All the constant reminders that the world has changed for the better.
  12. It's really weird to have absolutely no excitement about hot stove season which is typically as exciting to me as the actual season.
  13. Probably because most of them had been there about 7 hours before the rally started
  14. He's the highlight of the 2016 Election Thread too
  15. Homer by 2011 1st Rounder too. And 1967 1st Rounder
  16. Sofa as Meph confirmed
  17. It looks like MLB Network is playing every Cubs playoff win right now. On game 2 vs Giants currently Edit: I guess just until game 1 against Dodgers. I guess the rest tomorrow?
  18. Posted already?
  19. I listened to the actual interview. It was weird because the stuff about playing time was completely unprovoked. At first it was just a quick joke about playing time and then a minute or two later he brought it up again and went in detail about his complaint. Silvy sounded shocked and they asked some follow up questions and specifically about whether Chapman was gassed and then he went into that.
  20. What did Miggy say? I missed it. Hughes: He hit the most famous grand slam in Cubs history and he's going to say a few words, Miguel Montero! *Montero dances to the stage* Montero: WE ARE GOOD BOYS! *Montero hops away, arms to the sky* Man I hate to post this to take away from the feel good. And possibly someone already did so sorry if this isn't new But Miggy was on Waddle and Silvy after the parade and complained both about his playing time in the playoffs and of Joe's decisions in game 6 or 7. Apparently Miggy was drunk and let all that slip.
  21. Yeah I ordered that! Have they said when they will ship? I'm assuming it's still something they are in the process of creating
  22. http://m.mlbshop.com/Chicago_Cubs_Gear/Chicago_Cubs_2016_World_Series_Champions_Commemorative_8-Disc_Blu-Ray_Set Want
  23. M'fer Windermere Edit: can someone link that thread? I used to read that thread every few months for a good laugh. That and the Senator Pelosi/Purdue and Indiana shouldn't be in the same Big Ten Division thread
  24. Ya I've been trying to figure out whether to celebrate November 2nd or 3rd as the anniversary every year. I decided it's best to make Nov 2-4 a 3 day party just to be safe. :D What are you guys talking about? The game ended at 11:48 pm CT which is the time zone said team is based in. You don't go by the time zone the game was played in.
