Cubs Should Nail it Down

[VikingPSU]

The Cubs finished with the best record in the Major Leagues. They have won 100 games for the first time since 1935. But none of that will matter if they don't win the last game of the year and can be called World Series champions for the first time since 1908. http://m.cubs.mlb.com/news/article/205022122/why-the-cubs-will-win-the-2016-world-series/They did lead MLB in a bunch of categories and they clinched home field early, but even though the 'brains' are picking them they have to follow through.

As a Giants fan, who is friends with a few Cubs fans, I am looking forward to the NLDS! Hopefully, the Giants can resurrect their play of the first half, when they had a league best record heading into the all star break.

Six hours till game time. Seems like the regular season was just starting.

[AshevilleApp2]

Momentum means a lot. Better hope they don't face Bumgarner twice, since he's been known to throw several innings in relief on short rest.

As Harry used to sing,

ONE - Cubs open with a win

TWO

THREE strikes you're out of the old ball game

THREE strikes you're out of the old ball game in SF on Monday, Jake vs. the Bum

Hoping for a choke like in '84

Isn't that special? Good thing the Cubs don't play in the Ivy League!

Not sure what that even means.

So much for the Giants, Cubs close their party 3 games to 1 to return to the NLCS. Now it's a best of 7 against either the Nats or Dodgers with Chicago keeping homefield. Both the Nationals and Dodgers are still considered underdogs to win the World Series, according to Odds Shark (http://www.oddsshark.com/mlb/mlb-2016-world-series-odds-tracker). The Dodgers are +1200 (bet $100 to win $1,200) to be crowned world champions, while the Nationals are +700.

Not at all sad to see the Giants suffer a soul crushing playoff loss at home. They've had their fun.

Did forget how much I love watching Jason Heyward fly around the bases though.

my sentiments exactly, did not want to see a game 5 back in Wrigley.....

Javier Baez flashed some serious leather in that series, a bit of a hotdog as well, but that's all right with me, baseball can use a bit more personality......

Go Cubbies!

I hate the Cubs. Hope they lose in the most painstaking way in the NLCS

So what? Just uncalled for and unjustified.

[Yotes21]

I can root for whoever I want to. Sick of Cubs fans feeling entitled and thinking they have already won the WS.

Uncalled for: you may root for whomever you want but you came on this thread without rooting for anyone. This thread is about a baseball team, not fans. Unjustified: entitled fans who think their favorite team has "already won the WS"?

Not a great post season in the NL if you like pulling for an underdog. Just a bunch of big market teams.

[caribbeanhen]

guys the Cubs haven't won anything for 100 years.... what the heck, gotta love Wrigley and the loyal Cubs fans, that place is a Mecca, I don't get the Cub fan hate, must be a geographical thing, there fans are some of the best in all of baseball

Man never thought I'd be agreeing with a Usd fan. I'm on board with this 100%. Full disclosure I'm a Brewers fan. And before some crybaby Cubs fan comes at me about 100 years wah wah wah, there are teams out there who have never won it. I hope the Cubs lose in a way that scars Cubs fans for decades to come. Bunch of crybabys, go watch your hockey team.

Then there's no reason for me to feel sorry for them. Poor cubbies. I think losing it in the 14th inning would be pretty epic.

they didn't

[VikingPSU]

NLDS uh-oh Cubs win game one 8-4 over LA, pinch hit HR by a bad back kid


3-0 until the 5th, 3-1 until the 8th, then game over with back to back HRs

Brewers fan? Your points are automatically voided.

[VikingPSU]

forgot to mention the bad back kid (Miguel Montero (http://m.cubs.mlb.com/news/article/206237232/)) came off the bench and hit a grand slam.

[VikingPSU]

Cubs drop game two, 1-0 and illustrate that a two hitter will beat a three hitter when that extra hit is a solo HR.

[eiu1999]

Not very worried about the series tied at 1-1.

[VikingPSU]

Cubs up 3-2 and will go to the WS with a win in the next game

[caribbeanhen]

Wrigley is a must see right now

[VikingPSU]

the nail has been driven and the Cubs win the pennant 5-0 over LA, 4 games to 2

final nail comes in the World Series starting Tuesday night in Cleveland

[VikingPSU]

Cubs dropped game one, 6-0 to Cleveland but Arrieta and the Cubs came back to nearly no-no the Tribe, winning game two, 5-1.

Now we have this Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Wrigley - can Chicago win this WS at home?

Nope! Indians take Game 2, 1-0!

[PaladinFan]

You watch a game like that and realize why the NL keeps resisting the DH.

[bonarae]

Uh oh. Barring a hitting miracle for the Cubs, the Indians will win the Series xsmhx

[MSUDuo]

Go Indians go! Go Indians go! Hey Cleveland, what do you say? The Indians are goin' win today!

Not quite as catching but f the other version.

[clenz]

**** Cub Fans!
**** Cub fans!
Hey Chicago, whaddoya say? 99 percent of you couldn't name 4 players

[AshevilleApp2]

I'm pretty neutral on this series, but it ain't over yet.

1968
Detroit loses game 1 in St. Louis, but wins game 2.
Goes back to Detroit and loses games 3 and 4 before winning game 5.
Back to St. Louis where they win games 6 and 7, beating Bob Gibson in game 7 in the process.

It is certainly a long shot for the Cubs, but not a given at this point.

[clenz]

I genuinely wouldn't give a **** but these Wal Mart Cubs fans are the worst fans I've ever come across. 5 months ago 99% of Cubs fans under than age of 40 didnt know what a ****ing baseball was.

[Thumper 76]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAH *gasp* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I won't contest that, particularly since you live closer. But on the other hand, my brother in law is in his mid-70's, grew up in the Northside of Chicago and has been a Cubs fan all his life. It would be pretty cool for him to get a championship. But Cleveland fans have waited a long time as well, and they are in the AL Central. Either way, this World Series has some good story lines.

My father in law has been a Cubs fan his whole life. I know for a fact he watches/listens to games nearly as often as he can.

I would like to see fans like him get one. However, for every 1 of him there are 8 or 9 Wal Mart Cub fans.

I don't doubt it.

[PaladinFan]

Storylines are great, but right now the Cubs are getting out hit, out pitched, and out managed.

[VikingPSU]

3 games to 2, Cleveland ahead

Wrigley has been pretty much sold out all year, those Wal mart fans must be the ones gathered outside....

CUBS GOING TO GAME 7 OF THE SERIES

[VikingPSU]

Consider it nailed!
