    Just read back some of the early posts in this thread...in 4 short years the Cubs went from a 100+ loss season to winning the World Series. I cried like a baby and don't think it has fully sunk in. I want to hold on to this feeling forever! #FlytheW #WeAreWSChampions

    I did the same thing earlier today. We were just starting the rebuilding when this thread started. I can't believe how quickly they have turned this organization around.

    Thrilled with the Rizzo deal. If he really becomes the player that everyone says he is going to be, the Cubs are getting him at a bargain and can start building around him.

    Reading through some old posts in this thread. We had some really bad teams over the past 4 years.

    This was a good day for the Cubs- May of 2013.
  • What a day! I spent the day reflecting on 30 plus years of watching the cubs and hoping last night would happen. During the game, I admittedly was waiting for the "goat" or the "bartman" play that was going to turn this around. I thought it happened with that crazy wild pitch that scored 2 runs. So it did not surprise me at all when rajaI Davis hit the home run. My stomach was in knots and I wanted to throw up.

    Skip ahead to the last inning, I was still sure they were going on lose. Then they give up one more run. Now at this point, Fox is showing all of the fan shots in the stands. EVERYONE they showed, whether a cub fan or Indian fan, had the same look of despair of their face. When they won, I dropped to my knees and started to cry. I got myself together and began to watch the reactions and a great feeling of pride swept over me. I was so proud of that team for giving us a winner.

    Fox went to a commercial and the first one was the Nike ad that had the kid playing baseball by himself and Harry Caray was saying "cubs win, cubs win!" Then the words "goodbye someday" came across the screen. I started sobbing like a baby. The a it was finally over. .My mind went to you 80 year old great uncle in Lansing, Illinois who has pancreatic cancer. A lifelong cub fan that finally got to see this. My grandma, who died in March of this year, who would always tell me "don't worry, they'll win it next year."

    I will never forget this group of guys. Anthony Rizzo's child like reaction in the dugout telling David Ross that he's an emotional wreck may have topped ryne Sandberg as my favorite Cub ever. I also remember saying to myself that I hope this kid pans out.

    Thank you cubs. You guys have given me so much joy.

    we will find a way, we will find our place
