To my Chicago friends...

Congratulations on an incredible World Series win. Now, if the Cubs lose, they're just mediocre.

To my Cleveland friends...

Sorry about the World Series. But losing is character building. Just ask my Chicago friends.

Hey I'm an Angels fan. We had 2002. Then every year since has been a major disappointment. Initech Nov 2016 #2

Actually, that's a pretty funny bit! Thanks for the congrats. First Cubs game for me was June or July of 1961.

Whether it was the AJ Pierzynski play in 2005 (still one of the worst on record - ask ESPN), or it was that suicide squeeze in 2009 that gave the series to the Yankees, it's been a total shit storm. And this season has to be one of the worst on record, and fuck you Josh Hamilton.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is Cubs, enjoy this one!
