Hell yeah, Speedy! One of my best childhood memories is coming home from school and watching the Cubs on WGN with my grandfather. Back before the lights! Back when the buildings on Waveland & Sheffield were apartments and the dozen or so tenants would watch on the rooftops instead of a bunch of corporate scumbags. Back when we had the Shawon-O-Meter. When Ryno would go 0-for-the-month-of-April. When "Jod-yyyy, Jody Davis" was an auto sales jingle. And on and on.
I no longer have the opportunity to watch a Cubs World Series game with my grandfather. But it would've meant the world to me so I know exactly how ya feel.
Day games in the mid-80s are the reason for my fandom.
WGN always pre-empted my GI Joe to show the Cubs.
funny so many of us have the same memories..... kids today get left out with the WS starting at 930 EST
The late world series games I associate with the 89 world series I didn't have a concept of West coast time. My dad let me stay up and watch 4 or5 innings, but that was it. I remember getting ready to watch the game when the earthquake hit.this predates 24 hour news cycles,but my dad let me stay up and watch the coverage of the aftermath. Afternoon world series games should comeback. I know they never will.

I loved watching the cubs on WGN in the 80s and 90s. Some of my very earliest memories are watching the cubs and eating Popsicles I'd get from the ice cream truck. Harry Carey and ate Estonia were my favorites.

Would like a WS day game but only on a Sat or Sun, preferably Saturday. WS game could be at 3 or 1 and NFL push most of their games to the early or late window to not compete, although they never would since the nfl is a bunch of greedy bastards. This is why Sat makes more sense, yes you are competing with college fball, but the marquee college games are mostly at night, where the nfl only has 1 primetime game.

Also MLB does itse6no favors having playoff games fully completed while the majority of the country is at work. I get during the LDS you have 2 days of 4 games potentially and LCS 2 days of 2 games potentially. It'd be ok to have them overlap. If 4 games have a 5, 6, 7 and 8 start (central time) if 2 a 5 and 8 start. Games at 11 or 12 or 1 or 2 during the work wk is asinine. Was po'd cubs cards had mid afternoon weekday gms in last yrs playoffs. The Cubs are easily the biggest draw and will hopefully get primetime billing this yr.

Some jackass already went and got a tattoo on his fucking leg. Has the C logo with a goat in the middle where the prancing bear normally is, and two ribbons saying "Curse Reversed" and "World Champions 2016."
Of all fanbases, this fucking jackwagon should know better than to go do something stupid like this. What with the talk of 108 years and curses and blah, blah, blah. (Not that I believe in curses, but still... don't yank the lion's tail!)
Fucker better be prepared to enter witness protection if they don't win.

Come home from school, watch the Cubs. When I was a kid every loss would eat me up, couldn't rest easy until the next game.
I take it a bit easier now that I've grown up

Bump

darwinstheory · October 2016

Last day of the regular season. Hoping for a Giants loss and a Cardinals win..Then game 163 for both teams tomorrow.

PJ-Cubs · October 2016

Friday cannot get her soon enough.

darwinstheory · October 2016

For anyone keeping track, despite winning today, the Cardinals have been eliminated from the playoffs.

What a great day!

I can really appreciate that. Enough of that though...... It's time for some postseason baseball. Friday can't come soon enough. Let's see a pennant, baby! Let's see a world series game at the friendly confines. We're not entitled to it, but we sure as hell deserve it. Going to have 3 generations of my family watching the game together Friday. Go Cubs Go!

Gonna be a tough series vs ny or sf. At least we won't see madbaum or synd till game 3, makes it that more important we hold serve at home.

Im leaning twoards hoping we get ny too. They dont scare me as much as sf. SF has better starting pitching but ny has the better bullpen.

Strasburg out for NLDS and likely NLCS according to Dusty Baker.

Only 38-28 (.576) vs the East & West divisions this year (19-14 vs each). EVERYONE in the playoffs scares me! But hey, we only need to go 11-8 (.579) in the postseason so the odds are still close. One step at a time, let's get the first 3 W's!
