How 'bout them Cubs?

[Tuco]

I'm no sports fan, but am happy that the cubs were able to break the curse.
Here's to another 108 years!

They're okay. As one of the most basic weapons, you can fashion one out of just about anything. Certainly not my first choice but it's a whole lot better than nothing. I'd rather have one against an opponent with a knife.

Because this year wasn't strange enough. Donald Trump, Brexit, the clown scare, and now the Cubs win the world series. Strange times.

Not bad.

Most of my life I watched the Bears and listened to the White Sox broadcast on the radio regularly.

The baseball strike pissed me off and I never really went back, except for the 2005 season where I started paying attention half way through the year. Then I got to watch the White Sox win the World Series. I then went back to ignoring baseball.

Football faded out from my life around that same time and I followed NASCAR instead. Then I lost interest in that also, it started getting a WWF vibe to me.

For whatever reason organized sports have just lost their appeal to me. I don't mock or judge folks that are engrossed in sports though, I've been there (glad I'm out).

Being in the Chicagoland area I'm surrounded by Cubs fans. I'm very happy for them and haven't been saying or doing anything to "rain on their parade" through the pennant race and world series.

Now that the Cubs have won I hope they (the fans) don't become (more) insufferable

I'm disappointed they aren't the "lovable losers" anymore, but hey, it's 2016.

Gives me hope that SMOD might yet be coming.

I wish I could have seen more of the series.

This was the first series in a LONG time where I was happy to see the two teams that were in it, and I'd have been happy no matter which team won.

I've heard/seen very little moaning and gnashing of teeth by Cardinal Nation. I am disappoint.

Baseball ... baseball ...

Lemme think ... is that the one where each side has eleven players and they try to kick the ball into the other teams' net? No, wait -- is it the one where there's a net across the center of the court and they try to get the tall guys close to the net so they can hit it past the other team?

Don't tell me ... I know this, it just takes awhile to remember such esoterica.

He said cubs.  However, the cub really isn't the weapon, it is just the pointer to bring Mama Bear in on your target.

Some said it was impossible for the Texas A&M Aggies to win a National Championship.  However, if the Cubs can win the World Series anything is possible......even Trump winning!.

Most of my life I watched the Bears and listened to the White Sox broadcast on the radio regularly.   Same here. As a kid, I liked the Hamm's Beer Bear commercials that ran during White Sox games. And watching the commentator - Jack Brickhouse - get sloshed.

The baseball strike pissed me off and I never really went back,  Ditto. Millionaire players and billionaire owners squabbling didn't impress me.

I was fully expecting the Cubs to fold up - as they have so many, many times in the past. But they didn't this time. Good for them.
