Someone needs to create a sound file with "Do you believe in miracles?" overlapped with the final play. DO IT.

Mizouse

but this guy sure was spot on!



Did this guy predict the Cubs winning the 2016 World Series in a 23-year-old yearbook? FOX Sports

Joneill44

Not even close to this guy. And its real

Mizouse

The one I posted above is real. Multiple people with that same yearbook confirmed it (at least according to the article)

@ Cubs...

Probably the craziest sports game I've ever seen...5-1...then, 5-3, 6-3, 6-4, and then 6-6...When it got tied, I thought it was game over for the Cubs...yet another indication of how the franchise has some weird juju...

And then, the rain...



But, I'm absolutely thrilled to see them win and in this lifetime...definitely a bucket-list thing that I had no control over that has been achieved.

That rain break was divine intervention.

Mizouse

Agreed really satisfying series

That rain break was crazy, just enough time for the Cubs to regroup

I thought they'd be pushing the end of the game till tonight

still can't believe it!!! Chicago Sports no longer has anything to desire!!!!!

heading over to try catching a glimpse at the parade now

jupitersolo

So amazed how many never mentioned the Cubs this or any other year. And how many of them so excited about them winning. Still can't mention the staring pitching line up without looking it up.

Mizouse

no longer in vegas?

srika

got back last night

srika

nobody thought they would ever win, lol

Mizouse

wish I could've gone

Doom878

I think they were the favorites coming into the year. And getting Chapman probably put them over the top. Ironically he almost blew it for them.

srika

SEMA was sick, I'll def go back next year
true, but I was talking about before this year... or last year......

parade has about 3-4x people in attendance compared to Blackhawks parades, btw.

oo7spy

I have no horse in MLB, but I have to admit I was rooting for The Cubs. I just wanted to see history made.

I wonder if The Cubs organization will try to make any amends with Bartman like The Red Sox did for Buckner.

Yumcha

Are you talking about in AZ...? Um, how many regulars really spam in this sub-forum aside from the few of us who bother...?




And then again, "band-wagoning" in sports or anything (hype-cycle) is natural. It's kind of how products are marketed and why "successful" celebrities or sports stars are used to pitch stuff...?

People enjoy being associated with "winners". And well, Cubs are finally that and had success after knocking at the door last year. And yeah, I'm pretty sure most people who are suddenly Cubs fans do not know who Mark Grace, Ryno, The Hawk Dawson, Sutcliffe et al are...but, does it matter? I'm just happy that after decades and decades of ridicule and feeling sorry for this team, there's actually admiration finally...and what's amazing is that Theo has built this team to have a chance to contend for the next few years. This is one young squad and if they keep the key pieces together (Rizzo, Bryant, Baez, Russell, Hendricks, Lester, et al) for awhile, they have a chance to be maybe like the Giants.


Now, back to some discussion: Off-season question for me is what the Cubs will do about the bullpen. Chapman is an UFA...and Rondon and Strop are due for raises...Jensen probably would not be a bad Plan B if Chapman leaves but I'm guessing some team is going to throw a ridiculous pile of $$$$ at the relievers.

Yumcha

I was on the road for work the last two days but from what I read, Bartman was invited and while he was elated, did not show at the parade. And if he did, it may have been icognito since well, with that many turning up, would anyone have noticed if he was not announced?

Yumcha

Frankly, I think the Bartman saga was stupid. He had nothing to do with the Cubs blowing that 3-1 series lead to the Miami Fish.

Joneill44

Huge difference between Bartman and Buckner.

Buckner was a respected player before that error. Bartman is just a fan, he's not going to be at events singing baseballs and taking pictures like Buckner does now

Joneill44

Buckner is always at charity events, golf outings, all that shit. Bartman will probably stay private for the rest of his life sadly. Too bad really

srika

I guess I'm fairly good at choosing my photo gigs..... the Cubbies showed up to the club I shoot photos at currently on Friday, had a blast with them!!! Baez, Rizzo, Russell, Contreras, Soler, Rondon, Montero, and others showed up to party hard!!!!!!!!








WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.........


WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Yumcha

And honestly, Bartman did NOT cause the Cubs to lose that game. When Alou missed that foul ball, the Cubs were still winning and Prior was still pitching. Why is no one blaming A-Gon's error also? The Cubs still had a Game 7 to play as well...anyone want to talk about that? Ridiculous...I feel terrible for that guy and what he's gone through.

Doom878

Some Cubs were on SNL this weekend. One of the skits was meh but another kind of funny. At least they brought a fan

srika

yeah it was pretty meh. and, hate to say it but I just cannot stand the Cubs song. I find it to be so kindergarten.

Yumcha

Awesomely done IMO...

srika

a few more videos in case you missed them.......
