Other Sports Congratulations to the Cubbies - Page 2

**gblowfish** · 11-03-2016, 09:18 AM

108 years....man, that's some time in the desert.

I have a couple friends who are life long, legit, die hard Cub fans. I'm very happy for them. And if I have to pass my baseball crown to somebody else, nobody has been more deserving or patient than Cub fans.

So congratulations to the Cub Fans. For the first time in your life, you get to enjoy the satisfaction of being emotionally tied to a World Champion team. No better feeling in the world.

The parade is going to be insane!

HOLY SHIT I'M NOT EVEN A CUBS FAN AND I GOT WELLED UP WATCHING THAT!

The best was the old guy around 1:46 who is wearing a Cubs uniform and gets down on his knees and begins to cry.

Congrats to them all the way around!

40M watched last nite

Somewhere, Roger Goodell is weeping into his hands, like a blubbering baby

What great reactions from fans who have never known this moment in their lives. But damn, the dust keeps flying around. I am going to get dehydrated at this rate!

If we were to win a SB with Andy Reid it would look exactly like the Cubs game last night.

Sitting on and giving up a lead, very questionable coaching decisions that make you want to rip your hair out and victory late in the game.

Special shoutout for Bud Selig and making the All-Star game the deciding factor on who has home field advantage. Thanks, Bud!

Having a way to get Schwarber into the lineup is the only reason Maddon moved his best hitters into a more RBI position in the lineup.

Feel free to change that rule asap now, Manfred.

Back to The Future Almanac was wrong by one year but that's because the Royals kicked ass and won the WS in 2015.

the really old guy at the 2 minute mark was the one for me.. damn dusty room.

Grew up a Royals and Cubs fan. More of a Royals fan since I grew up in KC, but last night was still somehow more emotional than last season for me.

I grew up spending Summer's with my Grandma in Iowa watching Cubs games with her on WGN. First baseball game I ever went to was an Iowa Cubs game and this player named Tuffy Rhodes was absolutely amazing in that game. Next season he went 4-4 with 3 home runs off a pitcher named Dwight Gooden for his Cubs debut and I was hooked.

My grandma turned me into a baseball fan and last night was the first time in 10 years it felt like she was actually on the couch watching with me. So many emotions. 108 years is a damn long time, but I'd wait that long again if that's what it takes to experience that feeling.

Go Cubs Go!!!

Good to see Nasium let you out of the Gimp Suit down in the basement for a day.

Went to the Penguins/Ducks game last night and they showed some of the game on the Jumbotron during intermissions. When the score was tied 6-6, everyone in the crowd was buzzing. After the Cubs got the final out, a huge cheer went up from the stands at a random face off in the 3rd period of a 5-1 game.

I think the players on the ice knew what happened.

**Nzoner** · 11-03-2016, 11:32 AM

Back to back WS Championships from my favorite AL and NL teams,life is so good.

Goodell has sent a $500 fine to everyone in that video for excessive celebration.

...and, for some reason, docked KC a 3rd round pick.
