GO CUBS GO!
ONE. MORE. GAME.
GO CUBS GO!
ONE. MORE. GAME.
Thought the Giants were gonna force a Game 5 and cause another epic Cubs collapse, but destiny appears to be in the Cubs favor this year.
That Cubs bullpen is certainly their weak point, though (not count Chapman). If the bats don't connect for a couple games in a row, they will be in a tough spot. They can't rely on their pitching to carry them.
I absolutely will NOT say that this is their year.
But this team is so fun to watch. So many good characters. Javy Baez is a bulletproof tiger.

Centro broke the USA 1500 drought also from 1908. Cubbies are going to do it too!
That's the running related theme for this.

They are fun to watch and are having fun. Maybe that's what it takes, considering all the other Cubs teams that have come close seemed to have a weight hanging over their heads. I think these guys are too young to know any better.

The Cubs don't have a top flight ace that can be trusted to pitch even with Kershaw or Scherzer should either go nuts for 2.5 games. Maybe Lester, but I don't know. That's my worry anyway.
Fellow Cubs, DO NOT JINX THIS. Let Trump keep the media off the scent.

Nah, no worries. Cubs got this one in the bag.
Cubbos need to score some runs.
And gotta win 3 out of 4...gonna be tough. Fire Joe Madden!
Don't question the Cubs manager.
John Madden is a genius. Won NFL championship with the Raides as coach. Took the Tampa Bay Rays to the MLB World Series, has the Cubs in the NLCS and has like 27 straight years of a best selling football video game.

Didn't he also code that best-selling video game?
This Cub/Dodger series has officially become a classic. One way or another it has to be. Either the Cubs win the series. That would be a major event itself. Or, the Cubs lose the last two games and the series at home. Needless to say that would make for a whole new chapter about how the Cubs are the Cubs.
Indians vs. Cubs World Series. Game 7 starters
Indians: Ricky Vaughn
Cubs: Henry Rowengartner
Now only need 1 of 2. Cubs look like a WS lock now.

Cubs bats came alive and that won the NLCS for them. When the Cubs are cruising on all cylinders, they are unbeatable. The only way that Cleveland will win is their starting rotation can hold down the Cubs, because the Cubs destroyed the weak parts of the Dodgers starting lineup and then have good enough pitching to maintain the leads.
I still am cheering for the Cubs to lose, because a team that causes Superfan Bartman to change his identity does not deserve to win ever. You don't chase your best fans out of your fandom, you idiots. Now people are talking about inviting him back to make the first pitch at Wrigley. No. Just no. Do you idiots think he actually wants to do this or even cares about the Cubs anymore after NEEDING TO CHANGE HIS IDENTITY?
I also can't stand all these clueless bandwagon and bro fans that have emerged from the woodwork over the past couple years. These people were nowhere to be seen in the years between Pinella and Maddon. I haven't heard my brother talked sports in years, and all of a sudden he is excited for a Cubs trip to the Series. The dumb girl from high school that doesn't know the difference between a curveball and a slider? Even Hillary Clinton is excited about the win. What? I doubt they could name more than 5 players on the Cubs. I can't identify with these people more than I can identify with a sewer pipe.
Within a clueless, part-time fan base like that, they deserve to suffer. Please, Indians, sweep the Cubs. Please.

Sorry Cubs hater.
Ernie Banks says eff you and that 2016 is in fact the proverbial Next Year
The Cubs did Ernie Banks, Ron Santo, and many other great Cubs a disservice by not winning a World Series during their lifetime. The organization was a joke until Ricketts and Epstein turned around the ship.
People like vivalarepublica are the true idiots. They act like they own a sport because they are claim to be experts and know the difference a curve ball and slider. There is nothing wrong with band wagon jumpers that should cause you to hate them because they jump aboard a hot team because it is exciting and they are playing well.
This idea that you must suffer through bad times with a team to be a true fan is stupid. If you like a directors movie you say so. Nobody says you should not be excited about a good new movie because you did not suffer through that directors poor movies too.
Sports are nothing more than entertainment. If you like the entertainment you get to do so. Nothing more pathetic than self proclaimed tools that think they can say who are true fans and who are not.
This is the year and the Cubs are real.
