Well, FLOP-tober is over for the Cubs yet again...Big shock, huh? Can't blame Uncle Lou for this collapse, No offense equals another #$%^&* year about hearing about "The Curse"

Tell ya what, The Dodgers looked impressive to say the least...Whoever plays 'em in the NLCS BETTER have a plan to stop that team. Betcha the Yanks fans WISHED Joe Torre was still in NYC, LOL!!!!

I would like to see a Dodgers/Red Sox World Series...Betcha the Red Sox fans would just so enjoy seeing Manny beatin' 'em.

But I guess it applies to the FLOP-tober collapse of the Cubs...and possibly the Angels (Who haven't beat the Red Sox in 11 straight games of the playoffs dating back to 1986) starting in about 10 minutes.

Congrats to the White Sox, at least they are making a series of it against the Rays.

I'm a TRUE Cubs fan...I will stick with my team THROUGHOUT it all, and if it takes another 100 years to win the World Series, so be it...

At least I can PROUDLY predict the Cubs will win the World Series before I EVER TRUST anyone in WASHINGTON D.C.

What a weekend here in Chitown. I still don't get how they lost both games at home, too much hype too early, I guess. I'm actually hoping this will eliminate some of the fairweather Cubs fans for you true fans. Those that go to games to look cool at Wrigley, and don't appear to actually know anything about baseball. They drive me nuts on the L on game days.

White Sox game starts at 4:07 today, where's Steve Perry?

"Don't stop believing"

I'm prediticting an American League World Series win, no matter which teams ends up going.

RAYS all the way!!

jr2280 · #24 10-06-2008, 02:47 PM

World Series I predict Phillies over Rays 4 games to 1

fairweather fans, or even worse "bandwagon jumpers". I guarantee HAD the Cubs won the World Series there would be So Many fans coming out to say "I'm a Cubs fan"...Yeah, sure ya are.

I have been bleeding Cub blue since my hometown Muskogee, OK added WGN to the cable TV package WAY BACK in 1982.

There sure have been alot of 'fairweather' fans at the games at the Cell and in Tampa, since during regular the season games I saw more empty seats than fans at games for both team. But I will give 'em both the benefit of the doubt since no one, I repeat, NO ONE was ever worse than the Atlanta Braves fans at showing up at the last minute ONLY if their team made the playoffs...Otherwise the Braves fans at Turner Field were disguised as empty seats

I have to say great pitching teams have, and WILL FOREVER MORE, beat great hitting teams...I say the National League has that advantage this year (ie Dodgers starting pitching staff). Should be a fun World Series this year (Still NONE will top the 2001 Yanks vs. D-Backs Series, the best one in my opinion).

For the record, I hate the DH!!! If a pitcher drills an opposing player in the AL, he wont have to suffer a payback...Crapola!! Make him hit and drill him back!!!

The White Sox are joining the Cubs for "Tee Time" in the morning (About 7:30am CST

) somewhere in Chicago.

JohnL · #26 10-06-2008, 07:37 PM

beat ChiSox 6-2 to advance. Woo hoo!!

estranged4life · #27 10-06-2008, 10:34 PM

We're all set now...

The ALCS (The BoSox better watch out, The Rays may continue to shock the world)
The NLCS (Great LA pitching vs. the great Phillies hitting)

Hey, I like all 4 teams so I will be enjoying these LCS'

jr2280 · #28 10-06-2008, 11:51 PM

Hopefully Hamels, Myers and Blanton all continue to pitch well. and Moyer needs to start pitching like Moyer again

Erin · #29 10-07-2008, 09:53 AM

The Rays are a very good team. I still don't understand what the big deal was about being the Devil Rays. Anyway all is quiet in Chicago, and the only thing left to say is Go Bears!

Which thrilled me since I was born and raised in Pawtucket...Watching the Rox in the WS last year was like watching the Paw Sox play the Red Sox. I's so glad to see my boys doing it again this year.
