Let's be honest...nobody is sad for the Yankees getting demolished on their home turf

Hello baseball fans. I find myself hoping that the Cubs take the Championship this year. Their fans have waited a very long time, and it always feels good to see the underdog win. Go Chicago.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Remembering how euphoric we all felt when the RedSox finally beat the curse, it's time for Cubs fans to experience it too.




but next year's another story...

I'll never forget the sight of an older fan crying when they lost in 2003. By her age I would guess that she is probably deceased by now. I always thought that my daughter would see the Sox win the World Series and think of her long departed dad. It would just be nice if the Cubbies' fans could experience the same type of joy that I did in 2004.

I just remembered being dumbfounded at first, then grinning for the next 6 months or so...

 

[rsoxguy]

That's the word. Dumbfounded. I just sat there repeating the words, " The Red Sox won the World Series".

In any case, Go Cubs!

Welp, looks like the Royals/Astros series is going to a Game 5. If anyone's been playing to lose, it's Houston right now.

 

[Dead2009]

Welp, 3 of the the Division Series are going to 5 games.

Is anybody else neutral for this World Series? I really want KC to win because of last year and their long drought, but I also want NYM to win because I have a lot of family that lives in New York.

I suppose anything is better than Dan Jennings. We still shouldn't have fired Mike Redmond though...

 

[wdwperry]

Well...its not Bud Black for the Nationals...its Dusty Baker! Bud Black was "embarrassed" by the contract of 1 yr 1 mil offered by the Nats so they decided to turn to Dusty Baker. Interesting

Jordan Zimmermann reportedly signing with Tigers.

So, the Marlins fired their color commentator. Guess why? Our wonderful owner, Jefferey Loria, thought he was too negative.

That's why the Orioles owner Peter Angelos let Jon Miller (probably the best baseball announcer alive) go about 15 years ago.
