    Maybe not you, but lots of folks do.

  • I really wanted them to be able to pull it off at Wrigley.  Just so the fans could see it and go insane.

    If you watched on TV, a lot of fans were outside of Wrigley and went insane anyway - not to mention that a lot of Cubs' fans were at Progressive Field for the game.

    I'm a Mets fan, and even I got teary-eyed watching the celebration and feeling how great this is for Chicago and Cubs' fans!

    Congratulations to the Cubs and I hope their fans enjoy the victory.

    It occurred to me that the Cubs winning in such a drawn-out and dramatic fashion is EXACTLY how long-suffering Cubs fans would want their first championship since 1908 to come about.

    Winning a World Series 4-0 with every game being a 7-2 victory just wouldn't have fit the narrative nearly as well...;-D...

    I have lived in Chicago and near Wrigley Field much of the time.   My relatives, who are big on baseball, are die-hard cub fans.  Always have been, always will be.  Kinda like Da Bears fans.

    Uncle Frank, Cousin Frankie, Cousin Paul, and dead other Uncle Frank.  I have repeatedly asked them why.  Why do they support a team that never wins.  I guess I really do not know baseball because that, I guess, is not the point.  The point is the loyalty that fans are so proud of.  They will STICK with you through thick and thin, I guess no matter what.

    I don't get it.  I guess that is why I never married.

    But, I am happy for them.  This will give them something to cheer about for years because I doubt if it will happen again before Hailey's Comet comes around once more. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at November 3, 2016 12:00 PM MDT

    Loyalty through thick and thin is a big part of being a fan of most teams that only occasionally win, like the Cubs, Mets, Braves, Dodgers, and many others. The Yankees are kind of an exception. But the Cubs may surprise you - they have an excellent core of young players and may well be in contention for several years. This post was edited by Stu Spelling Bee at November 3, 2016 11:17 AM MDT

    Thanks STU B. 

    Good to know,  I wish them the very best. 

    Can you please tell me this?  WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG??????  Chicago is not poor.  Don't you think this should have happened sooner than later?

    Sure, but look at it this way - anybody can have a bad century!

    But seriously, there's a lot more to it than the city, and the same thing happened to the Red Sox between 1918 and 2004 and the White Sox between 1917 and 2005. And the Indians haven't won since 1948 and counting.
