QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:35 AM) WOOOHOO Nice job Cubs, I was out there on Waveland cheering you guys on in the 9th, had a blast. Only issue was with a few people beer-spraying us, but man what a joy. Now end the indians and the White sox will be burried, unfortunately. Were there any fights? What's going on out there? Why did you leave?

So as a Sox fan how do you feel on a scale of 1-10? I feel a 3. Happy for the people who never had a title and this proves Chicago is a great sports town again. So many titles in recent history. However as a Sox fan I'm mad. Our team blows right now and thought hiring Robin Ventura was a good idea. Morons.

Does Billy Williams work for the Cubs? Boy the remodel really gave the Cubs a nice locker room. Holy s***.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 04:21 AM) What are they doing? I stopped following this thread when the Dodgers didn't throw Kershaw for game 4 or 5. No urgency. They should fire LA manager. What a joke. Too passive, like the Sean Penn character in Fast Times at Ridgmont High.

If Deadpool is female, my name is Zsa Zsa Gabor. No chance.

That Sox fan should have never been interviewed on WGN. He should be ashamed of himself. Put Cub fans on.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:58 AM) I don't think many Sox fans are mad or upset about the Cubs play or their organization right now. If anything, most of us are envious of their competent leadership. It's just the fan stuff that gets under peoples' skin. I'm upset. Because our organization did nothing but stupid s*** as the Cubs were pathetic and rebuilding the right way. The Cub rebuild finally ended at a time the Sox suck.

QUOTE (Tony @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:53 AM) Surprised the Sox twitter mentioned the Cubs. Not sure the upside of that. Sox are irrelevant. Doesn't matter what they tweet as long as it's not, "f*** the Cubs." Or "We Won One First." That'd be sour grapes. Other than that, we are irrelevant baby.

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:39 AM) Truly think it means very little if they don't win it all Fathom. It can't be stopped. They are going to beat Cleveland. And just making the WS is huge in the history of sports. All those years ... Cubs finally in WS.

We're witnessing history, folks. This will never be forgotten in Chicago sports history and the history of baseball. Get ready to remember where you were when the Cubs won the pennant. No riots in Chicago. Hope all the old people in the stadium get home safely.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:32 AM) I LOVE good baseball. Many people I love like the Cubs. I want the cubs to win for them and I want the White Sox to follow them and rebuild their organization right. You don't like it, tough. I will continue to call you out for your petulance. Are you serious? He's not petulant. He's smart. f*** the Cubs. Fathom is consistent in his hatred of the Cubs and we all need to respect it!

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:31 AM) My friend texted me that the cubby bear is charging a 100 bucks at the door. Wow. And people are forking it over like it's one dollar. Bandwagon, baby.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 03:29 AM) Oh, fathom. Life wouldn't be complete without you and your butthurt attitude. I like fathom's attitude. A true Sox fan can't condone our ineptitude vs. them winning a f***ing WS.

Any live streams from the Chicago networks, guys? I want to watch the local coverage of this. Anywhere I can turn online?

What will it be like to be a Sox fan on the day of the parade? That has to be weird. If any of you have vacation time, might be a good time to head to Hawaii or the Bahamas for a couple weeks.

Cub fans sure didnt want to see Henricks leave that game. That gasp from the crowd was pretty cool when Maddon left the dugout.

So if you are an announcer on the Cubs radio or national TV here, how do you handle the final out?? I really hope they don't mention the Billy Goat or the curse. So predict it, folks. The call of the final out: "Strike three. The curse is over. The Cubs are in the World Series!" Or "What curse? The Cubs win the National League pennant!" Finally ... "The Billy Goat curse has been put to rest! Cubs win the pennant!" Or Billy Coat curse? Baaaaaaaaaa Humbug! Cubs win the NL pennant!"

QUOTE (Footlongcomiskeydog @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 01:27 AM) Why didn't the Dodgers pitch Kershaw in game 5 again? They really thought they were gonna come into Wrigley and completely shut down the Cubs bats for two straight games? That's when I knew the series was over. Dodgers played it way too passively. You can't underestimate this Cubs team which they did and the Giants did. The Cubs roster is so much better than anybody else's this postseason. Dodgers conceded the series by holding Kershaw for Game Six. There was a slight chance he'd have won Game Five and made it 3-2 LA. QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 23, 2016 -> 02:38 AM) Seriously, where have the last ten years gone? I'd have never guessed we wouldn't make the playoffs once since our WS title. It's truly hard to believe.

Why would they make Rice and Loyola play in the quarters? How many early potential rematch games are there? I mean that's bad. Loyola and Rice should not have to play til the state finals IMO.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Oct 16, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) I still can't believe he's there after he killed that camera kid. He didn't kill him but it was a very sad story. I know the mother of Declan. I do blame Kelly, of course I do. But I am not mean enough to believe he thought the kid had a 50/50 chance of going down with the tower and dying. Of course Kelly didn't kill the kid, but his judgment was SO POOR yes he should have been fired on the spot. QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 12:35 AM) Les Miles coming? He should be. ADs make it too difficult on themselves. When you get an opening, you go get the guy IMMEDIATELY who was let go by another school and has experience in winning. You don't pull a Kansas and when a good coach like Mangino is axed you hire Turner Gill from a small school. Then you replace Gill with Charlie Weis who was in the NFL at the time. What you do is when u need a coach like Purdue does, you go hire Les Miles quickly and call it a day. Or Mack Brown if he wanted to coach. When Texas fires Strong, you go get Strong. If Stoops ever got axed, you go immediately gobble up Stoops. It's not difficult.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 22, 2016 -> 09:45 PM) https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/don...m=.663cc5375b1b George Will on Trump and GOPers who supported/enabled him. The line that stuck with me was the one about divorcing first wife Ivana because her breast implants felt wrong to him...when there's a 99.8% likelihood he was the one who pushed her into having plastic surgery in the first place. His whole adult life has been about making money (deals) and satisfying Donald when he's not working. He's a typical billionaire. Me, me, me. The 'problem' is his opponent is just as rotten an individual ... well, maybe not quite as rotten as Donald but very ill equipped to be our president as well.

If this porn star's allegation is true ... it again begs the question of how dumb Trump could be to run for president? In this day and age he had to know the media would look for all indescretions of Trump. Maybe they are not true. But it would take a very very dumb porn star (and her accomplished attorney) to make this public if Trump didn't do it. Again, you just can't run for public office if you have a.) taken drugs. b) been unfaithful to your spouse. c.) had any incidents with women like this one alleged. You have to lead a clean life to run for office with the media at large. https://www.yahoo.com/news/adult-film-actre...-222912021.html

They will be dancing in the streets of chicago tonight. Keep it safe and have fun, Chicago.

Rose would be a good manager ... oh wait. I forgot. Love Big Hurt on TV. He is great announcer.

Rice lost by 11, 48-37 I believe it was. I don't know how anybody's gonna slow the Loyola machine in the playoffs. Rice is gonna have to win two games (is it two or just one we need to win for rematch?) then give it another shot vs Loyola in the quarters. It seems to me the only way to beat 'em is to match em score by score, then SOMEHOW get a turnover or pick six or something and grab a lead of nine or more points. You got to somehow lead them by more than eight the entire second half cause they are gonna beat you in a game of "whoever has the ball last will win." The fact Loyola ran the ball so well tonight could either help or hurt Loyola in the rematch. They might just stomp us in the rematch or, we might get fortunate and force a fumble or two in the cold weather and get the two TD lead I'm talking about. I would think the upcoming cold weather isn't gonna be good for Rice and Loyola's passing game, but seems to me Loyola has the ability to run the ball against great competition and Rice is a bit shaky in that regard even with a stud like Valladay. I like everything about Rice cept the defense is 'probably' not state title caliber and offense is a tad worse than Loyola's. Whether Rice is better than everybody else in 8A ... I have no idea. To the experts are Loyola and Br. Rice clearly 1-2 in the state?? And nobody else is close?
