Being one of 'dem die hard Cubs' fans, I am loving this post season and
hopefully the Cubs will endure and take the series.
As for the actions of their fans? Who knows? The only thing I can
guarantee you at this point is that Joe Maddon has no need to look for
work. Theo Epstein and the Cubs' owners will give him everything he
deserves.
Go Cubs, Go!

Being a Brewers fan, I'm not that crazy about the Cubs. But I have to say their success gives everyone hope that their lowly team can do it too.

Having spent part of my childhood in the Chicago area, I'm
rooting for them.
But on the otherhand, if they do win I sort of feel something
will be lost. The Cubs not winning the World Series is such
a tradition, an icon of professional sports. If the Cubs win
they'll become just another team, occasionally good, mostly
medicre, not really any different to the Brewers or Reds or
Pirates.

But a new cult will be born "The Back to the Future church of Reverend

Having grown up South of Chicago, I won't. ;-)

Yeah, there's something to be said for perfection. ;-)
