I'm glad that your picture doesn't load properly, because I'm sure it's something I don't want to see.

Does this mean there's hope for us Cubs fans? Please? Anyone?Sigh.The ALCS was an amazing series, with an underdog story for the ages. I've been watching the Cubs for so long, I'd forgotten what good baseball was like.I was gonna hold my nose and root for the Cards in the big one, but not any more.What's the beantown equivalent of "Who's your Daddy"?

<blockquote>quote:<hr>Originally posted by Matthew Grieco:

First trip to the World Series in 18 years. First meaningful victory over the Yankees. All at the same time.
You have to be from here to understand. You just do. It wasn't just that the Yankees always win. It was everything else that came with it -- the petty barbs, the condescending remarks, the general sense of superiority from a fan base that derives a disproportionate amount of self-esteem from the success of their baseball team. I didn't care that they kept winning as much as they were a-holes about it. Not all of them. Most of them. In 96 hours, everything was erased. Everything. It was like pressing the re-start button on a video game.
...
It was the choke of chokes, an unprecedented gag job. For once, finally, the Yankees have some baggage. Just like every other baseball team."[ October 21, 2004: Message edited by: Niko Dugan ]

Sure, pile it on. You're all entitled. I have only two words to say:GO CARDINALS.

Do I dare say it? Maybe the curse wasn't from Ruth but Teddy Baseball.
