Am I the only Avian Cubs fan? I mean, wow, I've never been so excited! We're so close!!!

Anyone paying attention to this? It's amazing. We don't suck!

I'm pretty sure almost everyone in the midwest is a Cubs fan, just like everyone is a Bears fan (I'm convinced half the US came from Chicago). I try to not get too excited, cause whenever I do they seem to do poorly.

I just wish The Hawk was still on the Cubs. My fave player of all time.

Headline: Cubbies swept by Braves. Nuff said.

I HATE BASEBALL.

Thank you for your time.

Ryan Sandberg and Mark Grace were my 2 fav Cubs, Stupid Grace getting traded just so he could win the World Series

How can you hate the Braves? A team that has been so good for the past decade not because of exuberant spending and a team of All-Stars like Yankees but because of excellent pitching coach and manager who know where their weak spots are? Don't be hatin' man

I <3 Mark Grace. I'm glad he finally got a World Series ring, even if it wasn't with the Cubs. He deserved it. My bro was the Ryne Sandberg fan.
They're good in the sense that the Buffalo Bills were good a while ago. They'd always make it into the playoffs, even the championship game, but fail... . And their exuberant spending started when they got Maddox from the Cubs. Their pitching staff was only All-Stars for the longest time. Turner has quite a bit of money to blow...even on a new stadium.

Cubs won't play the Braves in the first round if they win the division at least. Freakin' Houston won though.

Well, I don't like the Braves so they can lose every game from now on and I would be happy. And since Gracie left the Cubs I have gotten on the Kerry Wood, Sammy Sosa band wagon (corked bat and all). Though I still like Grace I just think he should have stayed with the Cubs if he could.

CUBS v REDSOX in the World Series. If that ever happened I would definetly try my hardest to be there.

Its so beautiful, I wish I can see that in my life time. I really wish I could have gone when Harry Carey was around. He was one great crazy announcer. Khubs Whin!!

I've been fortunate enough to take a pilgrimage to the holy land when Harry was arounf....uhh I mean go to a game at Wrigley.

That picture was taken when I went to a game a few weeks ago during the St. Louis series. The one where Sammy got kicked out in the 2nd.

Does anyone else dream of living in Wrigleyville like I do?

I actually prefer Seattle over both, but that's getting a little off-topic.

And Harry Carey is amazing. I still have my Harry Carey shirt that's a black outline charicature of his face from after he passed away. I'm pretty sure he's > Chicago + New York.

Good article here!

Lets party like its 1918 (year the Cubs won the World Series). Yes I really, really want to take a pilgrimage to Wrigley.


There are 2 teams in NY, which are you going for? If you say the Yankees well, I will have to beat you with your own shoe and throw many a Trout at you.

Cubs haven't won a World Series in 95 years. You're thinking of 1908 Royur. That was the last time they won. Last time they were in it was in 1945. Last year they won the division was 1989. We're due.

Bah off by 10 years I knew it ended in an 8 and was in the beginning of the century. Side not I found when I checked up to see if you were right about 1908


The Cubs were the first sports dynasty. How can you not love 'em?

And Bossman the Mets arn't as bad as the Yankees so I will only beat you with Exar's sandal and throw a hearing at you.

Lol, *takes off his sandal* I'll beat him with the other. Mets suck. Sorry, but can't be a Cubs fan and like the Mets. Anyways, you may have been thinking of Boston Roy. They last won it in 1918. That's why I want a Cubs/Red Sox World Series. Wow would that be cool.

The Cubs are 1-1 in postseason now with the Braves. The first game was exciting, but I didnt really like the second, and today the Cubs have homefield advantage. GO CUBS!!!

You know, if it ended up with a Yankees vs. Braves World Series, they might as well disband the league. I'd rather watch the press play against the grounds crew... anyways... the Braves are gonna get pwned anyways, so that doesn't matter too much.

Game 3 will decide who wins this one. We can't lose Prior's game.

I had always heard that the Cubs were cursed, but I never knew what the curse was, so I found it, and it has been on the news a lot lately.


3 guys actually found the original goats ancestor and I think they are taking the goat to Wrigley to help remove the curse. I don't know when it may be tonight, I will have to watch tonights game and see if they allow the goat admittance, all I can say is they better let the goat in!!

Yea, I don't know how you can be a Cubs fan w/out knowin' about the curse. Three Cubs fans already tried to lift it this year when they took a goat to the Astrodome in Houston and they didn't let them in.

So far so good. We'll know for sure if the Cubs make it.

Braves suck...really....really bad. At least for this year.

I think theyve tried before to lift the curse, but obviously without luck.

Isn't there a "Billy Goat Tavern" outside Wrigley?

Hmmm, the best record in baseball in regular season is sucking in your book? I do agree that their post-season chances are not good, as they have no dominating pitchers anymore, but saying that the most consistent team in baseball, with the best record - sucks - is pushing it a bit far.

CUBS WIN!!! Now they are 1 away!!
Nice 4 errors by the Braves and way to Pitch Prior; allowing only 2 hits on a complete game. The last 2 innings were pretty exciting, but the rest of the game was pretty much a pitching duel.
