IT'S HAPPENING! -- Cursed by a Billy Goat, bedeviled by Bartman and crushed by decades of disappointment, the Chicago Cubs are at long last headed back to the World Series!

The Cubs reached the World Series for first time since 1945, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in Game 6 of the NLCS!

 

[Sophrosyne]

I haven't watched a real baseball game in decades

 

[nanajojothatsme]

well you missed a good season this year then

 

[nanajojothatsme]

all I can say is there are alot of loved ones that are not with us any more that would be jumping and hollering in heaven if it were possible

 

[nanajojothatsme]

I have an old bobble head of the cubs that is worth good money , back when the cubs were laughed at alot , remember that well

 

[nanajojothatsme]

been 71 years since world series play for them and the cleveland indians they will match up with , was 1945 I think

 

[nanajojothatsme]

remember I am just 100 miles south of chicago so I am in chicago cub land , my husband was a chicago white sox fan and we went to a few of their games

 

[Sophrosyne]

we used to root for the st louis cardinals here they were the closest team

 

[nanajojothatsme]

know people up there today from here at that game , my son in law has been to 3 of these in this series ,sure do know he wishes he were there today

 

[nanajojothatsme]

we used to root for the st louis cardinals here they were the closest team

now the other son in law is from southern illinois and he is a cardinal fan , they go there to games at least twice a year

 

[nanajojothatsme]

remember the bears winning the super bowl think it was 86 , will never forget that ever

 

[nanajojothatsme]

the super bowl shuffle was awesome

 

[nanajojothatsme]

chicago is an awesome city , good people good city , great place to just go there and eat good chicago food , ball games, or site seeing

 

[nanajojothatsme]

my son in law combining today with the winning cubs flag a flying today , he is a farmer of course

 

[nanajojothatsme]

The team has appeared in a total of ten World Series, most recently in 1945. The Cubs have not won the World Series in 108 years, and until 2016 they had not won the National League pennant in 71 years, both of which are record "droughts" in Major League Baseball.

 

[Sophrosyne]

we used to see a cardinals game here on occasion but my dad didn't like baseball so I rarely got to see any games.

 

[nanajojothatsme]

if my husband were still here he would have turned to a cub fan

 

[nanajojothatsme]

 

[Sophrosyne]

so folks who were talent agents for the team would be cub scouts
