as a second city saint myself I wanted to share with you guys this
a friend of mine who captured magic in a parody...People do not understand the love for the ivory of Wrigley or why for a hundred years people cheer for Cubs white and blue...This year just feels different then any other in my 32...

I really hope I'm bawling my eyes out in 4-5 hours. I want them to win so bad it hurts.

Is it really a curse when your ownership purposely built teams with no chance to win because they knew suckers would keep paying to see Wrigley and the Cubbies no matter how much they sucked?
Yeah, the Cubs haven't won in forever. But most of that "Forever" is kinda their own fault.
That said, a good part of me wants the Cubs to win it all just people shut up about it. Worked pretty well when both Sox won it all.

Chicago is Bears Country and always will be. The Cubs are a nice distraction from a shitty football team.

I'm watching it but I don't really know what's going on. If they win this they go to the world series ? is that the gist of it?

Yes, and this is literally the closest they've come to the World Series in over a decade, and if they win, they will be in their first World Series since the 40's. If they win THAT, they will officially be World Series champions for the first time in living memory.

My father who has been dead for 3 years wasn't even born yet

That's pretty cool, and I thought I was hard done by as an Arsenal fan having not won the league since 2004 and only getting to one Champions League Final (which we lost) back in 2006. You can sense the crowd is itching to explode but are waiting until it's 500% sure haha.
