Middle Buffalo Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) I am going to hear s*** all day about it and I want to be prepared. I suggest that you just congratulate them if the Cubs win. "Hey, congratulations. I remember how it felt for me." Any other kind of engagement will just give them fuel to keep talking.

Chicago White Sox Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 We just got to hope if there really is a baseball god, he's got something special in store for Cubs fans, something far worse than the Bartman event. The Cubs should win this thing on paper, but stranger things have happened. I won't make an official prediction, but I will be actively cheering for the Tribe for the first time in my adult life.

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I wonder if Merritt gets the nod in Game 3. I suppose it depends on the health of Bauer and Salazar. Have to imagine Indians go Kluber and Tomlin in games 1, 2, 4, 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 11:53 PM) Buy a White Sox World Champs t-shirt online right now to wear to work in case they do win it all. I am going to hear s*** all day about it and I want to be prepared. Wish there was a shirt that said 11-1 or something. Last year I almost custom made a shirt that said "2005>1908" when I was taking a lot of s*** from Cubs fans in August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSqwert Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 One of the crappy things about being a Chicago transplant out here is getting a ton of texts and social media posts from everyone here, congratulating me for the Cubs success.

WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I was actually surprised at how tame things were last night. I remember in Game 6 in 2003, fans were lined up across both Waveland and Sheffield. I thought the crowd after the game was actually pretty small all things considered, especially considering it was a Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yeah I heard the same thing. Â Possibly the most annoying thing about this Cubs season is this infatuation the fanbase has with David Ross. During the ceremony last night, he got by far the loudest cheer out of everybody. I could understand if he was a player who had been there 10 years and been through the rough times, but he's been with them two seasons.

YonderLaroche Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Giants and dodgers were really weak teams, cubs should of swept both teams. Indians have been hot throughout playoffs , cubs have them talent wise but it depends on how the cubs hit. Unfortunately cubs are built to win the next 3-5 years with no competition in sight in national league. I'm hoping Indians win in seven, but cubs probably got them in five games as long as they hit the ball or don't have a mental breakdown that leads to a choke . Not only do the cubs have top young talent theyve also bought a the finishing pieces to puzzle , more timely than Yanks/bosox ever have. I think this year and next year will be theyre prime dominant years and they'll slowly decline due to bad contracts , injuries , and lack off high draft picks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 24, 2016 -> 12:27 AM) Has this been talked about? Since Theo took over in 2012, the Cubs record is 400-409 (without playoff record). This is obviously including the full rebuild they went through, including a 101 loss season, and a 96 loss season. They told fans this was a 5 year process, and things would be rough early on. During that same stretch, the Sox are 375-435, and have tried to "go for it" every year.  Just some food for thought.  That's because the duo of Hahn and Ventura is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that is pretty remarkable, and should definitely be food for thought for some of the folks opposing a rebuild.  Good find, Tony.
