I lived in Chicago for 7 years. I may be a Red Sox fan, but there'll always be a soft spot in my heart for the Cubbies.

One of my bffs is from Chicago and has dragged me along to bars to watch the playoffs. She's out of town in some random bar crying her eyes out.
I have no baseball team so I've adopted them.

I'm a New Yorker born and raised, Florida Marlins fan by default. We had a very sad season after losing pitcher Jose Fernandez in a boating accident, so it is nice to see teams from two cities I have ties to going to the Series.  |

I can't believe it actually happened. My mom was like they've got this and I had nerves. I told my husband we had to get to 4 outs to go before I was really feeling it and boom double play and I breathed for the first time in the about an hour.
I love my Cubbies.

I've been to every NL central ballpark and had the chance to talk to a lot of fans from other NL Central teams and the thing we all share in common is we hate the cubs. Go Indians.

We always feel better about losing to the team that makes it into the World Series!
Well done Cubbies!

Cubbies have always been my team since my parents took me to see them at Wrigley. Never should have done that since they were playing the Cardinals that day and that is the team my parents cheered for. Nothing like Wrigley Field!

Gotta love a pitching duel!!
I'm rooting for both teams. There are so many former Red Sox players (and a coach!) on both teams I win either way, LOL!!

I really don't follow either team but when I tuned in for a minute there I thought Randy Johnson was on the mound. Don't even know who the pitcher is/was but saw all that hair flying and it took me off guard for a minute 
But it was a pitchers dual for sure. |

This city is freaking madness! It probably doesn't help that I am 8 blocks directly west of the ballpark. Last Saturday was crazy!
I am cheering the cubbies on as I do all season! Flying the W

I have been flying the W also. W's are all over this small town. Lots of die hard Cubs fans here. When my nephews were growing up, the bank here did bus trips to the Cubs games each summer. My dad would take his grandsons. Of course, the oldest got to go alone and to more games than the younger two. I went with them twice and it was fun. Bus was definitely pg and was advertised that way. Youngest nephew said he knew the last time they went, dad didn't enjoy it so the next summer when dad asked if he wanted to go, he said no. Dad always bought lots of goodies for the boys. Last time I went, he took the two boys and they went shopping and for some food. I was surprised at how much stuff the kids had when they got back because my dad is so cheap. |

Okay, dumb question here, but even my baseball watching husband didn't know. What does the W stand for? Win? World Series?

I was born and raised to be a SF Giants fan. However, my great uncle played for the Cubs for 20-odd years and was on the 1945 team. I've been rooting for the Cubs since they beat the Giants. I hope they can pull this off.

I love baseball... but this commitment to 4 hours of my life most nights of the week is wearing me out. The mania in my neighborhood and the fact that I can't move my car or I will lose my spot until the cubs go back Cleveland isn't helping!
Oh, and the helicopters over head... over it!!!
But anyway... go cubbies!

My dad lived in Chicago during WWII. He lived in Wrigleyville and spent a lot of time at Cubs games.
You only have to deal with crazy crowds one more game, sarcasticgirl, unless they end up winning the World Series.

The roars from wrigley are loud tonight!!! DH turned the window A/C on just to drown out the noise. He was trying to sleep, would hear the cheers then check the score on his phone.
Cubbies are in it!

Cubbies are making me nervous. Need to get through top of 8th and 9th ahead and not even have to bat in the 9th.
