Any Cub fans here ?

Believe me, we know what you're going through. We experienced the same exact thing for many years. As bad as you feel
right now, the feeling you're going to get when you finally win it will be well worth the wait.

All of RSN can still remember being on cloud 9 for about six months straight after that beautiful October in 2004. To be honest, we're
probably still on that high.

And your World Series win will be even more special because you've waited even longer. Cub fans are great fans, just like RSN,
and your day will soon come.

    I don't think most fans ponder this, but all things being equal with 30 teams in MLB, your team is only going to win a championship on the average once every 30 years. With a lesser talented team, it's not hard at all to go a generation or two or more without a championship team. And I know, because I'm a Phillies and Eagles fan.

    Steve - It wasn't about "being due" - it was about how it's not that hard with 30 teams, for some teams to go 30 or 60 years without winning a World Series.

    Not sure what it was about, but if you are right the Phillies last won in 1980 which was 29 years ago?

    <<< your day will soon come >>>

    It was in response to this that "soon" could very well be a long, long time...like i stated, 30 years on the average all things being equal.

    As a Cubs season ticket holder (transplant from Beantown) I've been there and done that. Tough losses, but 3 in a row isn't out of the question.

    That said, the fans booing the Cubs last night was horrific. Same with the defeated attitude and lack of noise to support them even while winning on Wednesday. Very different than a Fenway playoff game.

    Let's Go Cubs!

    The Cubs HAVE HAD A TERRIFIC season even if it evens prematurely

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    The booing last night surprised me as well. I'm sure it was just frustration.

    oh how smug was Cubs fan at the end of the season....all the talk...world series talk...subway series with the Chi Sox...amazing pitching
    staff...blah blah blah. The only thing better than a 3 game sweep of the Cubs, would be a 3 game sweep of Oz and the Chi Sox. Bye bye
    Chicago...see you in Decemb...oh wait, never mind, Bears suck too!

    Well said! The national media needs to stop giving so much love for Chicago sport teams. image

    Sure, I don't mind waiting another 100 years.
