BigSqwert Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Oct 26, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Best of 5, and the Cubs have homefield advantage. Home field advantage isn't a huge thing in baseball IMO. I'm sure most will disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 QUOTE (SmashROT @ Oct 27, 2016 -> 06:27 AM) Now a 1-1 series. This Cubs team is just that good, no way around it. In less than a week it'll probably be official, and every preconceived notion you had about what Chicago baseball should look like will be turned on it's head. Prepare yourselves friends. We're going to take a verbal beating at the bar and at work for several years to come. We had 11 measly years of bragging rights (and about half of those years we weren't bragging at all). In context of 108 years, that's peanuts. Couldn't they wait another few? Having them win it all might not be a bad thing in the long run. The national fascination with them will likely erode as it did with Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their fans might not know what to do with themselves when the attention goes away. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Unless they have a completely demoralizing Bartman Two ending, they won't be quiet at all this offseason. That's about the only hope left now. Collapse from up 3-1 or something shocking that has never happened yet in the history of the World Series.
