Cubs losing the World Series is really a win for the Cubs

[Chewbaccer]

And aren't the Reds the winners of that participation award?

The current Reds started play in 1882.

The Braves have played every year since 1871.

It just a coincidence that every team that has played the Indians in the postseason just got cold offensively

What part of "shut down?" Are you having trouble understanding?

There were "other" Reds?

The Cincinnati Redstockings were the first MLB team in Cincinnati, and the first team ever, but they folded in 1870.

There were teams around before the Braves, but the Braves are the longest continuously operating franchise.

As I've said numerous times, I hope the Cubs don't win it all until the last fan that made Steve Bartman's life a living hell dies. None of those scumbags deserve to celebrate a World Series. And Moises Alou is a piece of shit too. Not like he would have caught the ball anyways.

He probably still pees on his hands.

Being the Boston Red Stockings is allowed?

but your cubs jeering jersey has yet another wash cycle of stories to tell.

Thanks for the reminder. I do need to give my Fukudome gray jersey a good washing for the last two games.

Wouldn't have caught it?!?!? Lmao. There's multiple angle slomo video evidence. Gawd you're a fool.

Maybe I just flat out don't like the Cubs.

Hate to tell em, but they missed a season due to the Chicago Fire, so that makes the Braves the longest continually running franchise in the Majors.

Is that REALLY a big issue with you? You are using a devastatingly tragic event that killed hundreds of people to legitimize a stupid baseball record for your own team? Yeah, I'm sure you are a great person in real life. That record doesn't even matter. Nobody cares but you.

How awful it would be to get to celebrate 3 WS titles in less than a decade...

Eh, it ain't all that bad

Eh, it ain't all that bad

Cheeky little strumpet

History is made to be broken.... GO CUBS

If I am a Chicago Cubs fan, I almost root for an epic curse type play that costs them the world series then to win the world series. Why? Because the curse and the 100+ years of suffering, the loveable loser moniker, is what makes Cubs fans Cubs fans. It's what makes Chicago Cubs so great. It's what has made this post season and current World Series so great. Everyone is tuning in because of the potential end to pro sports longest championship drought filled with historic mishaps and losing.

Cubs win the world series and that is all over. The next time they go to the World Series bars are not going to be selling out standing room only events at 7:30 AM before a game. They become a mainstay in the elite of baseball and the curse and their longtime suffering is over. No more need for the sports broadcast to pan Wrigley field looking for the elderly fan who has been waiting their lifetime to see the Cubs win the world series.

Cubs win the world series and they lose a piece of history, they lose a piece of themselves that has made them so great.

So cheer up Cubs fans if you don't make a miracle come back being down 3-1 in this world series. This series loss just adds to your amazing track of being a baseball fan.

Why do think it is that everyone loves the Cubs for being losers, but Oregon are losers and everyone thinks they're annoying as fuck?

Dude, lighten up.

Alou even said he wouldn't have caught it.

He said that a decade later to diffuse the issue. And you know it. Again. There is multiple slomo video evidence. And you also know that.

The fucking idiots on this board are astounding

Slomo video evidence from multiple angles.

Would have hit off the end of the glove and still been a foul ball. Cubs fan just used it as an excuse for their team's collapse.
