OT: How 'bout them Cubs!

[Larry Blanchard]

I understand if the Cubs make it to the Series, Chicago will tear down Buckingham Fountain and erect a statue of Joe Madden in its place.

If they *win* the Series, the statue will be converted to a shrine!

Being one of 'dem die hard Cubs' fans, I am loving this post season and hopefully the Cubs will endure and take the series.

As for the actions of their fans? Who knows? The only thing I can guarantee you at this point is that Joe Maddon has no need to look for work. Theo Epstein and the Cubs' owners will give him everything he deserves.

Go Cubs, Go!

Having spent part of my childhood in the Chicago area, I'm rooting for them.

But on the otherhand, if they do win I sort of feel something will be lost. The Cubs not winning the World Series is such a tradition, an icon of professional sports. If the Cubs win they'll become just another team, occasionally good, mostly medicre, not really any different to the Brewers or Reds or Pirates.

Having grown up South of Chicago, I won't. ;-)

Yeah, there's something to be said for perfection. ;-)

Being a Brewers fan, I'm not that crazy about the Cubs. But I have to say their success gives everyone hope that their lowly team can do it too.
