As a 43-year-old lifelong Red Sox fan, I understand heartbreak. I know exactly what its like to be a Cubs fan as they hurtle toward another potential devastating post-season loss. Thats why I should be excited and rooting right along with Cubs Nation as they set their sights on their first World Series title since 1908. But I just cant get into it. Why?
Because their owner, the Ricketts family, has done more to kill constitutional conservative campaigns this election cycle than just about any group in America.

Glad to have another reason to root against them. And as it turns out, the biggest of all.
Well, given the superiority of Cleveland’s pitching, and what with this being “The City of Cleveland’s Year”,I somehow think the Cubbies might be waiting until next year for their third WS title ...
Hear, hear!
Go Indians. I was born and raised in Ohio. Moved to Michigan for work 27 yrs ago. But still an Ohioan at heart.
After all,there's a real chance we can take Ohio!
I was already rooting for Cleveland - this just makes it even easier to do so.
Is this similar to Ervin “Magic” Johnson being part owner of the LA Dodgers? Morality in play?
Hillary was born in Chicago, Obama is from Kenya , uh oops, I mean Chicago.
I'm a Red Sox fan.
I could care less about the Cubs this year.
FReegards!
As a Cardinals fan... I always knew there was something sinister about the Cubs...
I worked stridently to help State Sen. Mike Crane (GA) overcome the Ricketts (Cubs owners) money that got his GOPe opponent the nomination in the 3rd Congressional District. But I’ll be damned if that keeps me from rooting for the Cubs who hadn’t made it to the WS in 71 years!!! Not everything in life needs to be viewed through the lenses of politics.
Just another reason why I hate the Cubs and never want them to ever win any games.
“Not everything in life needs to be viewed through the lenses of politics.”
*ding ding ding* - We have a winner. Sir, I agree with you and salute you!!!
Part of the EVIL foisted on America by the Left is the politicization of EVERYTHING in daily life.
That is pure, unadulterated EVIL.
Go Cubs Go!*
*I am a Yankee fan, but the Cubbies have held second place in my heart since I went to school in Chicago in the mid 1980s ...
chicago is the biggest pox on the midwest.
Also keep in mind on only 3 occasions have the republicans won when they NL team won the world series (1908, 1980 and 1988).
It’s looking like the Cubs might win its first WS game in 108 years.
Tito is going to upset the Cubs!
Trump ads running during world series all night tonight.
Politics gets in everywhere these days....
