MLB post-season 2016

^ from your lips to God’s ears, Thumper!

Zobrost!

Don’t normally watch baseball but our house is glued to this nail biter. Thank goodness we’re on the west coast.

My SIL is a lifelong cubs fan and her first child is due any time now. Her husband is currently taking “bets” on facebook about whether or not this will push her into labor.

CUBS! CUBS! CUBS! - Whew, that was a nail biter of a game =D>

OMG

Flipped away for the pitching change and came back to jumping Cubs. Thank God for the replay button (and that’s why you need cable tv, Thumper!)

I fell asleep but wok up to the cheering!

@SyrAlum, a nail biter of a series! Whew! Go Cubs!!

The Onion: “Millions Of Drunk Cubs Fans Rioting In Heaven Following World Series Win”

Feels so good!! The Cubs are the 2016 World Series Champions!!!

And great effort by the Indians!..a great team!

Not an Onion story…When the Red Sox won in 2004, the cemeteries were full of flags and baseballs and caps and anything else you can think of with people celebrating with those who didn’t make it through the long, sorry 86 years.

Unbelievable game! Made better by constant texting from all three kids throughout. So thrilled for these guys!

Steve Goodman is smiling from someplace. Go, Cubs, go…

Just wanted to say congrats to both teams for making baseball interesting even to a non-fan like me!! :slight_smile:

@twoinanddone, I never heard that story, but truly get it. I had completely mixed feelings in 2004–ecstatic that the Red Sox had won, and miserable that my dad, a lifelong fan, hadn’t lived long enough to share the ecstasy (he was only 5 years old when they had last won, so didn’t appreciate that championship). He would have been beside himself.

I also watched the game “with” my DS via text. To be honest, this was the first baseball game I watched all season, so I had no inside info on the teams and their respective strategies and DS had to keep educating me throughout. (And I never knew until this game that a foul bunt may be a third strike. Live and learn, no matter how old you are!)

Son lives in Chicago and was married this summer - somehow I think this epic seven game nail biter and historic World Series will be the most memorable moment of year
Wow - the father son crying and hugging tweet in this article will make you reach for tissues

This guy predicted it in 1993! http://www.cnn.com/videos/sports/2016/10/26/cubs-yearbook-prediction-goes-viral-pkg.wgn

Congratulations, Cubs!

Thank you to both teams for this incredible, exciting Series. I personally would’ve enjoyed a different outcome more ;), but this has been so fun! Great memories made…

OMG. It Happened! My Cubbies are 2016 World Series Champs!

The trophy has arrived at Wrigley w/the team.

Commiserations to you, thumper1, and all Cleveland fans. A truly worthy opponent.

Can we swap Chapman for Miller?

Can’t seems to keep my eyes dry!
