Seconded. The only Chicago team since 1985 not to win a championship & nowhere close to doing it again. Since winning the 2006 NFC Championship, the only Bears playoff win was at home against a 7-9 Seahawks team. I fucking hate being a fan of this clueless franchise.

This is what I immediately pictured.

All I hear is fireworks and car horns.

As an Indians fan, I’m crushed. As a baseball fan...damn that was a game.

Theo Epstein said he’d turn the franchise around in 5 years, and in 5 years he’s got them winning the World Series. And he just put himself into the Hall of Fame.

Some perspective on how historic this is:

It is odd that a soccer writer demands resolution of every plot.

Stick to soccer, Haisley.

Agree, is this a “Billy is wrong about something other than soccer” test balloon for a new column?

Nah.

It’s a tie game with 10 sec to go. Why is the play for gay to iso up top and get a fading 3 in the first place? Thats the best they can come up with.

This post displays some dedication.

Giants’ even year bullshit is dead and the Cubs are losing the Series.

And yet the Sox will still be the fifth most popular franchise in Chicago.

Honestly, the fuck happened to the Cubs? I didn’t expect them to win it all but I expected them to put up a fight.

Cleveland pulls this off, Francona goes to the HOF, right? I mean, he was borderline before this but this is some next level managing. In the next few years, we may be looking at these playoffs as when the game really changed how staffs are managed in critical series.

This is the Cubs year:

These young cubs have been completly exposed.
