I think most baseball fans (save those in Cleveland) would like to see the Cubs win.  ;D

No matter who wins, one of two of baseballs longest World Series droughts is going to end soon. The Cubs are longest, with the Indians being second longest.  :yes:

1908 was the last year the Cubs won a series. 1945 was the last year they appeared in the series; the very same year the goat curse was cast.

Yup!  I typically don't watch much baseball, but I may try and watch some of this series just for that very reason.

My friend Kevin said it best; "I feel like a 9 year old kid on Christmas eve.", when speaking about the Cubs forcing a game 7 tonight in the World Series Championship of baseball.

Yep. Me too. Only it's just about time to spring up out of the bed and hope the fat man brought us a World Series Championship!  :yes: 8)

Just had a conversation with a Dear Friend within which he stated that although he is a life-long Cubs Fan the fact I am from Chicago was some next level up or something. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Fact is I have seen Cubs gear sported by individuals within each and every state of this Nation in my travels. And every single one of them are fans. I've seen it being worn by folks in Europe, and other places outside of this country. They're fans too.  I'd swear I was in south-west suburban Chicagoland just over the number of people wearing Cubs gear and talking about the game tonight where I am. In another state.

Truth is, you do not have to be from Chicago to be a fan of the Chicago Cubs. I look upon fans from anywhere within this planet, the very same way I do those with whom I've shared seats at Wrigley, or barstools with while viewing them on WGN. One Team - One Dream. A dream that has bonded Cubs Fans Globally for over a century; a dream that has a very real possibility of becoming a reality this night.

May each of us be truly thankful for that which we are about to receive; whether it be the realization of a longstanding dream, or the continuation of it. Sharing it with Cubs Fans world-wide is its own reward; win or lose, we will wake up tomorrow morning Cubs Fans.

The one. The only!

7th inning and I have had to break out the Guinness. Self medication is the only way I am making it through the next 3 innings.  :spooked:

6-3 Cubs in the lead.
