QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 03:02 PM) The Cubs winning the WS won't change fans' lives, so although this will blow over and Cubs WS swag that cost $30 now will cost $10 in a month or 2, I always loved having the leverage we all just lost over Cubs fans. That's the sad part to me. Yep it's just another team now. Bragging rights are completely gone.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 02:53 PM) How bout we just act like this year never happened? Can we find a way to blame it all on LaRoche

QUOTE (oldsox @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 12:47 PM) What was the proposed deal? Do you mean drafting Stroman? Signing bonus

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 01:26 PM) the bandwagon complaint is so lame. It doesnt affect anyone Doesn't it hurt the Sox at the attendance gate?

Well thanks everyone (besides a few) for allowing myself and other Cubs haters a place to talk and rant over the last month. Been therapeutic....and at least it wasn't the Sox who lost to them

Sox are not going to sign Chapman. There are five major money teams with a need for closer (chc, nyy, lad, sf, nats). Prices will be insane

Awesome tweet given the ESPN debacle https://mobile.twitter.com/whitesox/status/...%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

People think they are going to sign a closer when they already have highest paid one? Come on

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 06:53 AM) I became so much more calm about the Cubs winning once Chapman blew the game and I knew he couldn't get the save. Once Edwards came in, I knew that woman-beating f*** face couldn't be hailed as a hero and I was totally content. Now their lovable loser narrative is finally over and they can just be another team like the Red Sox have become. Totally agree, and was also happy it wasn't Strop or Arrieta on the mound. Also was happy it wasn't a homer that scored winning run

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 05:12 AM) Shaw served him up an absolute meatball, these pitchers just choke in big situations it seems. He's a bad matchup vs Cubs because he doesn't throw a lot of curves. Everything hard by him

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 05:02 AM) Well does this force JR/KW into a rebuild or going for it mode? I'm really undecided now. I'm thinking they might panic about losing more of the fanbase and go for it again. Hawk seemed to think it makes them go for it

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 04:58 AM) Damn they choked so bad though. 3-1 lead and can't close it out wow. Don't think I could ever live that one down if i was a fan of their team. All 15k fans will get over it

Adrian Gonzalez was safe

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 04:49 AM) Lol and a weak ground ball. Maybe they should've tried to steal and just have him try to poke a hit into the outfield. Reading where he's statistically one of the worst hitters in MLB history

Just missed it

Please hang a loopy curve

Here comes a game winning pick off

You suck Napoli

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 04:32 AM) Also as you guys mentioned, why did Shaw pitch outside to Zobrist knowing that's where he was aiming? And why weren't they shaded defensively after seeing it? Yep the pitch before scared me. Can't throw same pitch three straight times to him

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 04:31 AM) He didn't pitch that well. Kipnis had the best approach but the other AB's were bad. Santana couldn't have asked for a bigger meatball

Inning reminds me so much of game 4 vs Giants. Hard hit grounders placed perfectly

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 05:24 AM) Cubs are gonna put this out of reach. Same as last year's WS winner

Fox trying to make chapman a sympathetic figure is pretty pathetic

Way to go Francona

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 05:21 AM) Of course 3rd baseman way off the line Made no sense given how they were pitching him
