Chicago Cubs won tonight played the Los Angeles Dodgers and won. On to the World Series!
Here too.
He’s almost never even good in the post-season. I feel for him but sorry, it’s true.
Really great! So happy for all the fans that have waited so long.
I’m happy for them! Been a long time coming.
Only 71 years!

The Cubs had a losing record in 1985 and won squat. The Cubs have appeared in the post season since their 1945 World Series Appearance 7 times not including this year. They were in 1984, 1989, 1998, 2003, 2007, 2008, and 2015. All those ended in losses and failure to appear in the World Series. In the old days before the divisions winning the pennant meant winning your league and going to the series. I’m not sure if the term shifted to just winning your division.

I want the Cubs to win the World Series this year so that 0bama, a big White Sox fan, will have to congratulate the team at the White House.
And the season we said goodbye to Vin Scully!
I was 7 years old when one day in October of 1945 I noticed a lot of cars parking in our quiet neighborhood. They would come for a couple days, and then, suddenly, they would disappear, only to return a couple days later. We kids appropriated a few spaces in frontt of our respective houses and directed cars into the spaces. The drivers would typically give us a dime to “watch” their cars. It only was years later that I realized the people were parking about 1.5 miles from Wrigley Field, to which they would walk, where the Cubs were playing their last World Series against the Detroit Tigers.
This is most awesome. Any day you can beat the Dodgers .. it’s a good day.
So, it’s the Cubs and Cleveland ..???
Sorry, I haven’t been paying much attention; but I will surely be watching the World Series.
I wanna do a line with SCOTTIE PIPPEN, A-roid, Pete Rose, and the Big Hurt. YIPPIE-KY-A-MMMMMMMMFFFFFFF!!!!!
Secret of winning: Having good players, in hindsight it seems so obvious.
I agree with you.
Which reminds me, tonight was a gathering of many tribes in Washington DC to pray for America, and extend forgiveness for mistreatment, broken treaties, etc. It would be remarkable for the namesake Indians to win.
I don’t care what anyone says. The Cubs going to the World Series is just another sign of the End Times. I shudder to think what a Cub victory in the WS would mean.
My PhD Dissertation was how Martin Heidegger has replaced John Dewey as the primary influence upon US educational philosophy. I agree he is overrated but a lot of that is actually confusing Dewey with Martin Heidegger. Heidegger was an actual NAZI in charge of the Nazification of German schools. Heidegger and Dewey used the same terms but with different definitions. Due to sloppy usage a lot of US educators think they are following Dewey when they are following the man who invented Post-Modernism and was a card carrying NAZI. The conclusion of the dissertation was that many of the issues in US education are actually caused by bad philosophy.
Since I’ve read everything the guy wrote and disagree with much of it - it is a good place for me to argue with other egg-heads
