    Wrigley was rocking last night. It was surreal to be there and thinking of all of the history and millions of people over the last 70 years hoping for a return to the Series. I had no doubt after the second inning they would win although I didn't like the people next to me talking about Bartman during the game.

    The Cubs faced the minimu though. Three double plays and a pick-off. No Dodger got past 1st. Domination.

    Anyone have extra World Series tickets? :) TV ain't so bad.

    Theo gets Ditka status in Chicago if they win.

    Was so pissed during the pregame when FS1 had a whole piece about him. I turned the tv off for it. For fucks sake can we finally leave that poor guy alone forever, looking at you espn and fox. His life is/was ruined. He could have made a ton of money off it but was a class act and wanted nothing but to remain anonymous. Leave him alone, let him be.

    Lost ALL respect for John Smoltz when he said sometime in the 5th inning that there was no way that Kershaw was 100% healthy because of the way he was pitching. Really Smoltz? There's no way the cubs could have beaten that ass healthy? I didn't hear you fuck tards saying he wasn't 100% when he was 3 hitting the cubs the other night. I hate that fox has the world series. Just 6 or 7 more games of hearing joe buck and John smoltz suck Terry Franconas cock.

    It's hard not to crack a smile at all the older fans and the pics of multiple generations of Cub fans. But for all the dumbass loudmouth Cub fans out there, I could actually see myself pulling for them.

    It feels a lot like last year where the Cubs over celebrated winning the NLDS. Can't say I blame them, but the players should realize this might be the only time they get to the WS.

    Go Tribe. Gonna be a great series.

    We still have to find out if we've been drawn for World Series tickets through Cubs.com right?

    Yup...tick tock

    For what it's worth, the emails for the NLDS went out on a Monday evening and the NLCS went out on a Wednesday late afternoon/early evening.

    Ok good, thought maybe I missed it. I'm already gonna be in Wrigleyville this weekend. To somehow pull tickets too would just be amazing.

    Go Cubbies, a Tiger fan, but rooting for the Cubs...I remember '84 and there was a lot anticipation and hope for a Tigers vs Cubs then, and I was really hoping the Tigers could have got in and advanced to the Series...but Cleveland vs Chicago should be good...

    Still cannot wipe this smile from off of my face. What a night! Immediately booked an Airbnb for Saturday night. If I miss the drawing again, it looks like Murphy's will be just as good. My uncles and grandfathers would have loved to see this.

    Someone was telling me that the bars around Wrigley were charging cover charges. Anyone know if this is true? Definitely down for Wrigleyville fun next weekend, just don't want to get arrested for piss in in an alley.

    I'll be there with my grandpa. If anyone wants to try to hold down a table and get some beers before, during, and after the games this weekend at Murphy's let me know. Hopefully we all get drawn for tickets and don't have to worry about it though!

    Yeah, it's true. A couple friends of mine were down there and said bars were charging $20 cover to get in at like 3pm. Wrigleyville is going to be a zoo this weekend.

    Yeah I'm not paying cover charges. Don't want my business, I'll go somewhere the fuck else. This is the dumbest business practice for a bar ever! Unless it is to actually see a show & pay the band, there's no need whatsoever for a god damn cover in a bar.
