This cubs team is one of the best I've ever seen.  Right up there with the 98 Yankees.

How old do you think I am??!!

Syt, tell me if you can figure this out.

Dodgers only sent 27 batters to the box last night.  So you would think perfect game, right?  But the Dodgers had two hits and one walk.  How is this possible?

#365
Double plays after the hits and walk would do it, I believe.  First batter hits a single.  Next guy = double play.  Third out comes vs the next batter.  3 batters, 3 outs, 1 hit. 

Admiral Yi

Yup.  Two double plays and one pickoff.

The Cubs fans are just a little intense.

The Indians used to have a very passionate and neurotic fan base but they seem to have cooled over the years. I think the Cavs winning it somehow soothed whatever complex Cleveland had.

Just look at this weird Cubs fan watch them close out their first penant since before she was born! :angry:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Cubbies - Tribe World Series!  I wonder if that would end up the highest rated Series ever. :hmm:

I will watch. Tomorrow at 7 right?

Cubs load the bases in the top of the 7th with no outs, then Miller gets two strikeouts and one popup. :bleeding:

This Series makes me shit blood.  You think Boston was insufferable after finally winning a WS, just wait and see what happens when one of these bags of dicks win it.

Eddie Teach

Eh, Boston is always insufferable.

Heck, I was glad that the Red Sox finally won one, just so their crybaby fans would shut up about curses and shit.
