I want it to go 7 games! I don't usually watch during the regular season because there are like 3 total minutes of action out of a 2 hour game, but I'm watching this. I felt sorry for the Cubs' pitcher (Chapman??) last night. He looked like he was ready to throw up when he had to bat.

I'm like this, too.

While the odds aren't in their favor at this point, I really hope for the Cubs' sake they can pull it off.

Arrieta tonight. He was stellar in his last start, hopefully he brings that tonight.

I'm rooting for the Cubs, but many people I know hate them due to a local rivalry that I always thought was cute, since up until very recently, picking on the Cubs was like picking on a retarded kid.

Sent from my SM-N920T using proboards Yeah, a lot of Cards fans have been getting pissy since the Cubs have become good, which is funny since Cards fans like to portray themselves as the "take the high road" fans of baseball. I'm a Cards fan, but I didn't grow up here, and I lived in Chicago as well, so I don't mind the Cubs. IMHO, if they finally are able to come out on top, then more power to them. It would be a historic moment, and nice to see.

Grand slam CUBS..... Up 7-0 !!! Love this and even though it's now 7-1, please win this game and go to game 7! Parents were Cards fans. Made the mistake of taking me to see Cubs/Cards when I was a kid at Wrigley. Went with my cousin and his wife, Cubs fans. There is nothing like Wrigley! I became a Cubs fan much to their dismay.

Dad lived near Wrigley during WWII. He walked to the games. I have not been there since it has lights and whatever other upgrades have been made. Tickets are now expensive. They used to be easy to get.
Now to win one more game to be World Series Champs!

I'm concerned Wrigley Field will go the way of Comisky Park - part of me fears if the Cubs win - they'll level Wrigley in commemoration of the win - in order to make it even bigger. who knows maybe they'll just rename it to something stupid like the poor White Sox's field....

I hope the owners don't decide to level it or make changes that will make it unrecognizable to long time fans. It would ruin the iconic atmosphere. How long would it take to grow new ivy?

I honestly can't see that happening at all. It is iconic and beloved. Nevermind that they have just completed some multi million dollar major renovations to the park, some add-on restaurant area and are currently building a hotel across the street. It took ages just to get the new "jumbo-tron" approved. Sent from my SM-N920T using proboards

We go to quite a few games and always pay less than 40 per ticket. Tickets can be as cheap as 10 bucks. Even with the cubbies not hitting a WS, people still pack wrigley.
