    Well Cubs fans, I'm guessing like me, for most of you this is the first time in your life you get to watch our Cubs in the World Series. Enjoy every second of it. I know I will!

    Probably just chill at home with my wife and kids and quietly support them. I was raised a die hard Sox fan by my Mom who rooted them on. My Dad was (and still is) a Cubs fan. Mom wore the pants though so it was all Sox in our house! I saw my Sox win in 05'...35 years old and my son born a month before. Feels like yesterday and I may never get to experience that again. The die hard Cubs fans deserve it. My 89 year old neighbor/Cub fan needs to feel that joy once in her life. And who knows, with this team you may get a couple more. They're young!

    if any true Cubs fan sold or is going to sell his ticket to Marlins man he should have his ticket privileges revoked for life in my humble opinion.

    Marlins Man is a great guy!
    "look at me! look at ME! LOOK AT ME!"

    "oh, gotta check my twitter feed." fuck that guy.
    He buys several tickets per game and gives the extras away to people who would never afford sitting in those seats. He's approachable, he greets fans, takes pictures, anyone who's ever met him has nothing but good to say, and above all he loves baseball. He is very active on social media but he also works remotely, so he's probably doing as much (or more) work as he is tweeting. He's not doing anyone any harm.

    Schwar-Hammer!! His bat in the lineup really makes a difference in an AL ballpark. His AFL at-bats looked good.

    the Cubs and Indian fans have waited over 75 years for this. he shouldn't be in those seats. let a real Cubs or Indians fan sit there for the World Series. He doesn't need to be on camera. if he just loves baseball go sit somewhere else. sitting where he does and wearing a Marlins jersey clearly shows he wants to be seen.

    While I ultimately hope the Cubs hoist the Commissioners Trophy at the end of this, my very basic wish is that they just continue to play good baseball. No repeats of the Mets series from last year, or the Dodgers in 08, or the Dbacks in 07. In other words, try not to suck.
