Friend of mine went to game one at Wrigley, sat right in front of three guys, dressed in 1908 uniforms, with Tinker, Evers and Chance on the jersey. [roll], that is awesome.

All the people who are saying "LOL GOAT CURSE DURR DURR DURR" are going to reverse jinx the effing Cubs into the World Series. Stop it. Unless you are from Illinois, Iowa or Indiana, there should be no Cubs fans on here.

Reds fans want the Cubs to fail.
Cardinals fans want the Cubs to fail.
There isn't a hated rival of anyone left in the ALCS.
Nobody hates the Indians, in fact that would be almost as good of a story.
Blue Jays? Nobody cares,

I'm still convinced the Cubs are gonna blow it. Always was. I don't believe they're cursed, well the city of Chicago might be but not the Cubs in general. Either way we all know the cubbies will blow this and probably blame that damn goat or Bartman or the grounds keepers for doing voodoo on their field. Any excuse other than their team is usually ******

I am actively routing for the Cubs to lose, simply because when we were ten I told my buddy I would give him 1000$ if the cubs ever won the series. I don't wanna pay up. Other than that I have nothing against them.

Cleveland got their moment by being LeBron's sloppy seconds to get a title. Eff that town, and eff the Indians.

To think this Cubs team won 103 games and has proceeded to post goose eggs in 18 straight inns. In the NLCS to lose GMs 2 and 3 after winning gm one is nothing short of mind boggling.

Think of all the pressure on these guys "now"!

The whole Goat thing is enough to drive em insane, now they are on an 18 inn. scoreless streak!

Meh, it's honestly just a minor bump in the road. I'm afraid this is the Cubs's year. I don't see any way a team that loaded can lose a 7-game series.

Well they better win tonight, or may have to beat Kershaw in LA, not an easy task

And they won the first game 1-0, so 1 run in 27 innings of baseball. Haven't seen that since Orel Hershiser was on the mound.

Thought they won the first game against LA 8-4 on Montero's grand slam? Think Kershaw beat them 1-0 the next night.

I'm telling you man, bet the farm. The Cubs will win the WS.

Maverick, unfortunately for the Cubs my farm contains a billy goat.

This team is cooked...
They wont make it back to Chicago.
Doomed.
LA has the Cubs Kryptonite...lefty starters.
Pitch another tonight and will finish them off with another in Kershaw tomorrow night.
The Cubs will never go back to the WS much less win one.

sometimes its about curses, sometimes its just about match ups. the cubs are hitting .170 against curveballs thrown by lefties this year. yeah, baseball as a stat or metric for every damn thing. Hill threw 23 straight curve balls at one point in that game. Kershaw gave them a steady diet of curves. Urias is another lefty that will throw nothing but curves.


they need help from this guy

As a Reds fan, I really don't give a rip about the Cubs. When the Reds are out of it (which is usually sometime in late July) I am waiting for the Cards to fail and then I am at peace. Rooting for the Cubs to fail is kind of like rooting for Vandy to fail in basketball.

While everyone is focused on Chicago, Cleveland is already in it, with a rested Kluber pitching game 1, plus the home field advantage, I am thinking they will be a tough out for either LA or Chi.

Will the guy with the blood pouring from his finger be able to pitch by game 3, say?

It's hilarious the dude cut it by f--king around with a homemade drone [laughing] -- that's bigblewshawn level stupidity.

That pitcher reminded me of the Knight in Monty Python, with his arms and legs cut off.

I am not from Illinois, Iowa, or Indiana but I have been a Cubs fan for nearly 40 years. I don't understand the hatred toward the Cubs. We just want to be able to celebrate 1 World Championship in our lifetime. Is that too much to ask for?
