Its possible it’s because he lived in Chicago is the reason for this…however it took him MONTHS to coordinate a visit for the Kansas City Royals…they finally had their visit this past summer…I think it was June or July…
President Obama is a Sox fan. That alone would be enough reason for me to dislike him. We could agree on the Bulls, Black Hawks, or Bears.Its possible it’s because he lived in Chicago is the reason for this…however it took him MONTHS to coordinate a visit for the Kansas City Royals…they finally had their visit this past summer…I think it was June or July…
But is he a Sox fan or a Cubs fan?
But Hillary Clinton is a Cubs fan.
The garbage where it belongs. Or maybe he can pawn it to bartman.
No, she’s actually not. She’s a “fan” because they won the WS. She never showed or expressed any devotion before that.
No need to close it. I’ll happily unsubscribe. I should have a while ago. It kind of annoys me when it pops up. And since I’m done with baseball anyway…You know, this thread was started for fans to celebrate a fun little sporting event.
Maybe it’s time for the mods to close it, now that it’s become a place to complain about politicians and professional sports.
Some people just can’t allow others to have some fun. Sheesh.
Still, I’m glad the Cubs won, and I’m looking forward to going to a few Rockies games next year.

What’s interesting about this picture is that Cupich didn’t arrive in Rome until Thursday.
Ronald Reagan was a former Cub announcer … and the Cub owner Ricketts purportedly gave the Trump campaign some $.
Reagan was only born in 1911, so he never got to see the Cubs win it all, or even hear it. He used to announce the games on radio using the Western Union ticker for his information. He was not actually at the game sites.
Why even have someone call the game on the radio if they aren’t witnessing events on the field as they unfold?
The technology of the day did not permit television or even multiple radio networks back then. If you lived in Des Moines, Iowa and wanted to hear the game, a relay from the Western Union ticker was the best you could do. There were instances when the ticker went down temporarily. The relay announcer like Reagan would report a lot of foul balls until the ticker came back or break for a commercial in the middle of the inning. No one in Des Moines would know the difference.
It boggles my mind that anyone would get their news from Facebook (and think themselves informed). So the gist of calling the game off the ticker would be reading a series of bulletins rather than doing a modern calling of the game? There wouldn’t have been any natural flow to that, correct, unless the announcer used his imagination to concoct an artificial sense of the feel and flow of the game? Sorry for being so thick-skulled, I’m just having a hard time imagining how that would work in terms of delivering a satisfying result.
Actually she grew up going to Cubs games with her father and spoke of Ernie Banks at a rally in Cleveland before the WS began. She adopted the Yankees as her AL team. The Cubs are in the NL and she said at the time as a Cubs fan, she could not root for the White Sox as her favorite AL team.

If history is any indication, the Rockies will take a sweep – and then lose five games in a row to the worst two teams in the league.The AL Champions Cleveland Indians @ Rockies June 6 & 7!
Oh my I just looked… after the Cleveland games, the Rockies head to Wrigley! Whew! That will be 6 games in a row vs the WS teams. Well good luck at Wrigley at least.If history is any indication, the Rockies will take a sweep – and then lose five games in a row to the worst two teams in the league.
But who knows? Summer 2017 is still a looooong way off… and hope springs eternal.
But yes that’s one thing about baseball, spring brings hope to all. 
Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
