"perhaps"

Sports broadcasting didnt exist the last time the cubs won the world series.

Nope:

I stand corrected. DAMN YOU WESTWOOD ONE

Can't wait for all the stories of old people dying just hours or days after finally seeing their Cubbies winning the world series

I don't watch much baseball anymore, but given the circumstances and the stakes of last night's game, was that one of the best games of the live ball era?

it was one of the best games i've ever seen.

zobrist named series mvp, because i guess they had to give it to someone.

Yeah, no one had a dominant series by any stretch.

Shaw had been my least favorite reliever all year. I was hoping the rain delay would have lasted longer so he wouldn't have come back in. I knew it was going to be tough after the Indians couldn't get to Chapman in the bottom of the 9th. I didn't trust anyone in the bullpen to get through the heart of the order after that point.

Jays/Rangers Game 5 last year, while it does involve my team, has to be up there. Being an ALDS deciding game rather than World Series kind of takes away from it, but that game itself was insane.

So did he and Bonnie Hunt go to the game together? I was a little too obsessed with trying to figure out that question last night.

Classic Eddie

Man, I just don't give a shit about baseball. But I'm so fucking happy for the Cubs and their fans.

Congratulations Cubs fans!

Waking up this morning and realizing that the Cubs are no longer the lovable losers of the sports world... life seems a little empty today.

The Indians now have the longest World Series drought, and the next six teams behind them on that list were expansion clubs added in the '60s or later.

*and none of those six teams have ever won a WS, I meant to add.
