    Also their first televised World Series.

    This also means that Jason Heyward, Dexter Fowler and Addison Russell are the first black players to play in the World Series for the Cubs.

    Tunes, I know this is a hard night, amigo. My hope is that next year, it'll be you getting a chance to celebrate.

    Before a Dodgers-Yankees series, of course. ;)

    He's right*.





    *Though having the Dodgers forever linked to the end of the Cubs pennant drought is a hell of a thing to process.

    Sweet, the Cubs made it. I don't know who to root for between the Indians and the Cubs, though.

    I'm rooting for the Indians. I only root for the NL team if the Red Sox are in the World Series.

    A bit of trivia to consider-- Chicago vs. Cleveland is a matchup that could have happened at almost any time in the 20th century, yet never did. The closest it came to happening was probably 1948, three years after the Cubs won their last pennant, when Cleveland won their last title.

    A stat that makes the Cubs game 6 clincher even more surreal:

    Bautista really irked me this season. Just too much talking right from Spring Training with his contract talk, to lines like that. Shut up, play like you deserve that money, and stop complaining. Are all you ohio guys OSU fans? Penn State, that must suck. :p

    Yeah, sorry Furio, but arrogant overrated jerks like Bautista who not only run their mouths, but even take the time to badmouth opposing fans during games (in a series the Jays lost, lol) are one of the reasons the Jays are one of the only teams I truly hate. Also, the fan base throwing beer cans, mostly at their fellow fans, doesn't help.

    Sorry, there are obviously decent Jays fans. But the team as a whole is entirely unsympathetic. If I were a Jays fan, I'd be embarrassed by this stuff. I was glad for the Indians to win, in spite of them being a division rival. The Jays would do well to class up their act.

    I won't lose sleep if they lose Jose. Especually if they land Votto.

    At the same time, one fan in almost three million this season (tops in AL) shouldn't paint anything. I'm not embarrased for one fool. We're good fans, we support our team. It's the players that need to represent better. Constantly arguing balls and strikes is brutal. I'd even consider trading Donaldson if the deal was right amd resign Edwin.

    One fan? It was lots and lots of fans throwing stuff. It was so bad it got beer cans banned from your stadium.

    I agree that the players are the biggest blot on the team rep, though.

    That's nowhere near as bad as ticket-selling gimmicks that effectively encourage unruly behavior.
