Baez with another uh no.

Anyone else's stomach turning? Hahaha

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 05:24 PM) Ask him about his favorite moment from 2005. Truth is the Cubs expect their World Series win (if ever, or whenever it happens) to be a landmark in human history. Make a federal holiday, tons of movies and music and video games, a global special broadcast over every network, executive visits around the world to come pay their respects and, just for yucks, reset the calenders. They've built so much mythology into the curse from thin air they've made it out to be some crazy watershed moment for mankind. What they dont realize, or more likely choose not to realize, is that half the people in their own city aren't Cubs fans and dont care. Most of that number are actively rooting for them to lose and would quicky cobble together plans to the get the hell out of town should the Cubs ever play a World Series clinching game. Seriously, if the Cubs come back and win this series then have the Jays/Royals down 3-0 are you staying in town? Unless you absolutely have to no. You're gonna spend the weekend in Milwaukee or go visit your elderly relatives in Arizona/Florida. You aren't alone either, a ton of people wN of Roosevelt and E of Pulaski will do the same thing. A third of Chicago dreads the fake-ass celebration that would come with a Cubs World Series title. The Cubs are as Chicagoan as deep dish pizza, which is to say that yes they have a place here but its wildly exaggerated. Nobody really eats deep dish more than once a month (those that do die from heart disease almost instantly) and nobody sits around dwelling on another futile Cubs season. It's just all part of the carefully crafted marketing of Chicago to create an identity surrounding the city that's palatable to the rest of the country, since segregation, crime, traffic and inferiority complexes aren't all that appealing to people. They play in a damn museum for chrissakes! So yea, dont be one of the people who just has to hop on the bandwagon because everyone else is. Either be a hater because hating is fun and watching Cubs fans cry is brilliant television or be proud of the fact that you couldn't care less. That is an excellent post my friend!

If the Mets win tonight we should have a SoxTalk meet up for the game Wednesday.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 05:14 PM) I will bet you gregs house that I already won from him. HAHAHA. In that case i will watch the game on TV. Hope i'm not disappointed.

QUOTE (shipps @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 05:11 PM) Tonight there will be more of the "stunned" Cubs fans on TV. Want to bet the house on that? lmao.

I'm not sure if i should watch the game on tv or follow the thread on SoxTalk? Reason i say that is i really don't want to see screaming cub fans on tv.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) LOL I totally meant pitching. I am thinking about football too much Haha. I figured you meant pitching.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 03:54 PM) I think the Mets defense can shut down the Royals enough That's true.

I don't think the NL can beat the Royals. I could be wrong.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 03:16 PM) Good lord, Cubs fans are literally the dumbest people on Earth. Yes, I realize that World Series appearances for their team are rare, but $2500 for one ticket? That's a fortune. Unless someone is insanely rich and don't know what to do with their money, that's crazy. This is why i hope the mets take care of business and win this thing.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) I know, my point is down 0-2 the way to come back is through good pitching matchups, and the Cubs wont have any until Syndergaard/Arrieta swings back around. That doesn't even seem like a good matchup for the Cubs anymore. And that will be in New York. If Cespedes, Duda and Wright break out of their slumps, which on an unseasonably warm night in Chicago with wind blowing out against a guy who cant throw 90 mph seems plausible, it gets even worse. Same can be said for a lot of the Cubs hitters, though. Difference is the Cubs need their hitters to all be firing to win this thing and the Mets could very well do it with Wright, Duda and Cespedes being complete non-factors offensively. I said this a million times. These 3 games at wrigley make me nervous. Just a feeling i have. I won't rest until they are gone.

I thought all met pitching was on full rest? I could be wrong.

Wish him all the luck in the world.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) I'm going to be so happy when the Cubs are eliminated. The bandwagon fans are very annoying. I hear you on that one. This weekend i have to visit friends in lake view not far from Wrigley. Either its over during the week or i have to suffer this weekend if its not. haha

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 20, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) You can get two seats together on Stubhub for just under $200 each. Bleacher tickets are going for under $250. My how quickly the fans have lost faith. I would not go near that place tonight. My lazy boy is just perfect.

Cub fan at work told me everything i need to know this morning about tonight's game. Toronto win last night = emotional cubs win tonight.

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) I'm finding being a Mets fan very stressful. I can't wait 'till the 2015 baseball season is over. You're telling me. Rooting for the mets over the cubs is hard work.

Interesting article. http://www.sbnation.com/mlb/2015/10/19/956...ys-mlb-playoffs And this. Joe Maddon: Jake Arrieta not in form but 'definitely held serve'

Cub fans at work this morning are very mellow. Not being cocky with me like they were when they played the cards.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 19, 2015 -> 09:13 AM) Cubs fans went from masterbating to Arrieta to hating on the Sox real quick. How so?
