I am no fan of Chicago. Not at all. I’m a Met fan from when I lived in NYC.
However, I’ve got to say that I wish someone didn’t have to lose the NLCS this time around.
Everybody is a Cubs fan. How can you not be?
I was lucky enough to see a game at Wrigley. I’ve seen them at the old Yankee Stadium and at Shea.
The idea of either team - Mets or Cubs - going to the World Series is like the anticipation a kid feels on Christmas Eve.
I say this being a lifelong A’s and Giants fan too.
I was sad to see the Cards lose too. The class act of baseball, with the greatest fans on Earth. I actual saw a post from a Cards fan wishing the Cubs well and rooting for them to go to the World Series.
Tinkers to Evers to Chance . . .
Well, RinaseaofDs....if I’m being honest, I’d have to admit that after my Mets, the Cubbies are my favorite team.
Why, I’m even enchanted by their stadium! I’ve been admiring that ivy-covered wall for 50 years, and I wept when they put in the lights for night games.
That said, though...while I will feel badly for the Cubs’ fanes (I really will), I have no problem at all rooting hard against the Cubs themselves.
This time. If they were playing ANYBODY else, I’d be cheering for them.
Let’s Go Mets!
