J2K Get your walking shoes ready. I believe that this is a sign of the apocalypse.

The curse of the goat WILL rear its ugly head LOL

Them going to the World Series isn't a sign of the Apocalypse.

But I'll be getting my shoes ready if they WIN.

That goes double for the Leafs and the Stanley Cup.

I don't know much about baseball, but I looked it up. My state's team has never been to the World Series. Gotta love an underdog. (is it irony that the only other team to never go to the WS is the other Washington?)

[Heksubah]

notalwaysright - one thing to keep in mind with that, for some perspective, there are eight teams that have never been to the world series. They've all been introduced between the 1960s and the 1990s.

The Cubs, on the other hand, have played since 1876 and the last time they won the world series was in 1908. They haven't even been in one since 1945.

[catcul]

How cool is it that a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1948 is playing in the World Series against a team that hasn't won the World Series since 1908?

I was hoping that the Cubs would play the Indians for just that reason.

[Crossbow]

If baseball superstitions have any power whatsoever, the Apocalypse will happen sometime this week...

Neither the Cubs or the Indians are allowed to win it all. And since there's no choice now, the end of the world is obviously coming before they can end it.

Or, to quote a friend of mine, "the Cubs and Indians are in the World Series. Ok, 2016, where's the ring, and what volcano do I aim at?"


(BTW- GO TRIBE!!!!)

If the Cubs win, then Zemeckis was off by only one year. Of course that bit was written by a Cardinal fan.

GO CUBS!!!!

I heard there's a "movement" of sorts to get Steve Bartman to throw out the first pitch.

The team I root for got eliminated in one of the Divisional Rounds, so I don't care much about baseball now until Spring Training.

[csquared]

Cleveland fans are trying to get Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn to throw the first pitch and Bob Uecker to call the game.

[Jay 2K Winger]

I had my boss ask me who I was rooting for.

I told him, "Both teams. I have an uncle in the Cleveland area who's a big Indians fan, and an aunt, uncle and cousin in Chicago who are big Cubs fans. Either way, someone in my family is overjoyed."

[cindybubbles]

They should have been playing against the Jays.

Sorry, but I'm still upset that my home team lost to Cleveland.

I have an aunt in Cleveland, but then she was a Cardinal fan for as long as I remember. I myself am a die-hard CUB fan....but not a Bud man
