MLB NLCS SPOILER INSIDE!!!!

[NightWatcher]

CUBS!!!!

Fly the W!!!

[Lefthacker]

1. I have tears in my eyes.

My 91 yr old mom can see the Cubbies in the WS!

[NightWatcher]

2. This Marlins fan is celebrating with you

Who's cutting onions in here?

[QED]

6. Me too.

My dog crawled into my lap to comfort me.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

12. I scared my dog because

Of my screams of joy

[QED]

13. I did too

They jumped up and started barking. Dogs can celebrate too!

[liberal N proud]

3. This world series should be one for the history books

Cubs first series in more than 50 years, the win first in 100 years.

Indians win, it would be their first in more than 50 years.

Go Tribe - Go Cubs

4. As a Phillies fan who suffered his entire life until 1980

Please allow me to congratulate the Cubs and their fans on a great win. Here's hoping they go all the way!

14. The long suffering of Phillies fans until 1980 has been overshadowed in the history books

by the Cubs and the Red Sox.

But the Phillies went 77 years without winning from the first World Series in 1903 until they finally won in 1980.

Even the Red Sox had only gone 68 years without winning when they came within a strike of victory in 1986.

FYI, the St. Louis Browns never won the World Series. The original Washington Senators won once. The Philadelphia Athletics, the Boston Braves and the Milwaukee Braves all won the World Series as well.

The Montreal Expos might well have won in 1994 had it not been for the strike.

7. HELL YES!

8. AFAIK, Hillary grew up a Cubs fan

Wouldn't it be nice that the same year a woman growing up a Cubs fan as a girl not only becomes President, but also she'd get to host the team she grew up rooting for as World Series champs, at least for her?

[StevieM]

15. I'll tell you a story about superstition when it comes to sports and politics.

In 2004 my cousin-in-law, a Yankees fan, rooted for the Red Sox to beat the Yankees and then win the World Series because he thought it might somehow help John Kerry win the election if it was a triumphant year for Boston, his hometown.

I was rooting for the Red Sox, because I wanted them to win, but I dismissed my cousin-in-law's theory as superstition that was not in any way relevant to whether or not Kerry would win.

12 years later I found myself rooting for the Golden State Warriors to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA finals even though I don't really care about basketball. And throughout the MLB postseason I have been rooting for the Cleveland Indians to lose, even though I have nothing against the team or the city. I am paranoid about too much success coming out of Cleveland this year because that is where the GOP convention was held.

Then again, the Republican Convention was a total fiasco so maybe I have nothing to worry about.

[GoCubsGo]

16. That would be as cool as it gets. However,

I would be more than happy if the White Sox fan hosts them.

[bhusar]

9. I have lived to see it.

Holy MFin cow. On the phone crying with my Dad

[nolabear]

10. I couldn't be happier! I know so many Cubs fans.

[oberliner]

11. Sickening to see Aroldis Chapman on the mound

How can people root for him?

[Neema]

18. Not rooting for him. Rooting for the Cubs though.

Their history goes way beyond one player.

[Neema]

17. I got really emotional and it surprised the hell out of me.

The Cubs were associated with the few happy memories of my childhood. I generally couldn't care less about sports, but this one is different. Go Cubs Go!
