I have to make a quick post and say Go Cubs Go.  I have been waiting my whole life for this and I hope this year it happens.  For the past couple of years you guys have seen me wear that old Cubs sweatshirt on the videos.  I have it on now for my good luck charm.

That’s what scares me, they took down the Jays with ease.  The Jays have a great hitting team and they shut them down.  Last night wasn’t good at all for us, but we still have tonight.

 

Hugh Jass – That’s just too funny.  I have never seen that, but will be passing it around

WigWagWorkshopMember since May 2015

Growing up in Southeastern WI, we made many many many trips to Wrigley to see the Cubs.  I am rooting for them all they way!!! So happy they finally made it.

plumbfitterMember since Oct 2016

Last night was not too good for the cubs.

 

But Kluber is a complete stud. Hes pitched in 4 games in the play offs and has a 0.76 era. That is just ridiculous.

 

I hope arrieta beats up on bauer tonight. That little drone boy is very obnoxious and needs to be knocked down a few pegs!

 

Go Cubs Go!

the Cleveland pitching staff is crazy good right now, hope their little postseason run ends soon……maybe tonight….last time Bauer pitched his hand blew up, maybe if the cubs can get his pitch count up early they will have to get in the bullpen early and tax allen, miller and shaw for game 3 which will help game 3 as well at home..

ya the jays ate Texas for breakfast and fell flat with Clevland

I;m a die hard jays fan but would like to see the cubs win the WS (I thought it was going to be jays versus the cubs but I was wrong)

sorry Eric and jimbo..

…shit. Only thing missing from that list is direct contact with an Alien civilization. 

Eric – TIAMember since Jan 2010

That list is awesome.  They did great last night and now coming home.  

DR99Member since Nov 2012

I feel like the Detroit Lions will have a similar list 🙁 It has to be weird living in a city where you have two teams playing the same sport.

Raps opened up their season last night and looked really good. Toronto sports is really turning around, TFC won their first play off game last night too.

 

No for the leafs… ah, forget the leafs, Im not a fan anyway.

looks like one of their players has to go missing before they can win another stanley cup!…..

no just a baseball fan and world cup or Olympic hockey not to much NHL….

NordrawMember since Dec 2012

Shut out four times in the play offs this year. That would have to be a record for the team that wins the World Series. Seems like if they score they win. In the same boat as they were against the Dodgers so it’s just  a matter of winning game 4. Win it and the series is theirs, lose and it could be a long off season. 

comp56Member since Sep 2014

my team is blue jay but Cleveland took us out so I’d like to see the cubs win seeings the last chance they had was in 1945

most of their fans have never even seen them play for the World Series let alone win it!

took them 71 years to win the pennant

Eric – TIAMember since Jan 2010

Not looking good after the lose tonight.

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015

My head is low tonight. I hope our guys can fight through this. I was born on the south side, but I bleed Northside Cubby blue. I never get wrapped up in sports, I could usually care less. This time its different we need this. And if they win my wife and son will be forced to stop making goat noises lol.

WigWagWorkshopMember since May 2015

Had to work super late tonight, but happy to hear the Cubbies are still in it! Just hope it was not a set up for the Clev to win at home….

BremonMember since Dec 2014

2 wins from a World Series? But I thought them Cubs, they ain’t gonna win no more?

WigWagWorkshopMember since May 2015

Man, the ball park was electric! Wish I could have been there, but watching the coverage on the tube, was pretty intense. 

Eric – TIAMember since Jan 2010

Game 7, bring it on.  They four great pictures going tonight for Cleveland, so it might be a long night for us.  However anything can happen.

T75RMember since Jan 2016

Great game last night. Let’s see if they can pull it out and make some history!

BremonMember since Dec 2014

Can’t believe it’s a game 7. So wild!

Hugh JassMember since Feb 2015

Poor guys are crap their pants nervous I’m sure. 

T75RMember since Jan 2016

Off to a good start!

wildroamerMember since Apr 2016

Not so fast. Fat lady isn’t singing yet.

T75RMember since Jan 2016

wildroamerMember since Apr 2016

Wow!

BMack37Member since Sep 2015

That third out in the top of the ninth was a beauty, dude has ice water in his veins to make that play.

T75RMember since Jan 2016

This is crazy right now

DR99Member since Nov 2012

Eric must be on the edge of his seat!!

T75RMember since Jan 2016

Wow. What a game! Congrats to the cubs and try not to cry too much Eric!

JMGMember since Dec 2015

And don’t start another Chicago fire. 😉

Eric – TIAMember since Jan 2010

That was awesome.  I think the beer helped calm my nerves.  Couldn’t ask for a better game 7

KC_ToolMember since Sep 2016

Congrats to all the cubbies. My Royals won last year. Happy to see you all shake the ghosts off.

John GlasseyMember since Jan 2014

An unbelievably Series and an equally unbelievable game 7. You could not ask for a better movie script. Or was it? Go Cubs [emoji1306][emoji1306]

What an awesome game!!! Not that big into sports, however I was rooting for the Cubs! Great memories of going to Wrigley. Maybe The Brewers will return to the World Series some year.
