Cubs are gonna have to up their game if they expect to end that 108 year drought.

I'm disgusted with baseball right now. As for the WS, I don't care who wins.

I hope this is not related to the planned re-branding of the Boston Red Sox into the New England Blue Gaiters? confused

LOL. Nope. This has everything to do with their epic choke/meltdown though.

Well the Cubs upped their game last night.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Question from guy who only watches baseball games when he goes to watch the Brewers lose once in a while:

Why in Jebus' name do they need to play the insane amount of games they do in baseball? An entire series? Seriously? It takes 7 games (an entire week) to figure out which team is better? Who has time for that? Drives me nuts, I assume it's just because the MLB makes more money that way. Why have the Vikings play the Patriots once when we could do it three times.

Football is a much more punishing sport so hence the much lower number of games compared to baseball.


However, I do agree that 162 games for the regular season is way too much especially when you consider the really crappy attendance that quite a few teams get. What's really sad about the Cleveland Indians who are in the World Series is that they had one of the worst home attendance rates in the entire league during the regular season. I think only Tampa Bay and Oakland had worse attendance.

I'm assuming the Cubs are going to lose big, especially considering how all the extremely one sided coverage is all about how amazing it is that they made it and might win. They're certainly on their way so far, way to jinx it media dudes.
