It has been a long wait. The last time the Cubs were in the World Series in 1945 my dad was 15, and he's not getting any younger...

GO CUBS!!! What else is there to say?

Is it just a coincidence?
 
The 1989 movie "Back to the Future II" starring Michael J. Fox predicted that the Chicago Cubs would win the World Series in 2015. Food for thought?

All right! Works for me.

Meanwhile, Toronto and KC just had a terrific game. I love the playoffs.

I hope they get re-energized soon. My Dad has been waiting since birth for a Cub's World Series win. That was in 1931 that he was born near Chicago.

Can the games be watched online? if so, how so?

Cubs vs. Mets 2015 live stream: Time, TV schedule and how to watch NLCS Game 2 online - SBNation.com

They will probably be on TBS.com.

I had the same problem with the Women's World Cup but figured out how I could watch it in German or Spanish for free. That wasn't perfect but good enough.

update
I think it might work and it might be for free. The app reviews are not very promising.

My dad feels your dad's pain.

Oh well. Old cubbie fan here - even tho I grew up on Southwestside.

Re the Back to the Future II movie and "Cubbies Win WS"... the scene was set to be Oct 21 2015.

But now it appears it was actually April Fool's Day 2015. more waiting... and of course it HAD to be the Mets...

justjim 10-21-2015 10:39 PM

Maybe next year---keep swinging and never give up! Congrats to the NY Mets.

It has been a while for them too for winning a World Series. Since I started law school at the U of MN in 1986. They were up against the Yankees in the 2000 Subway Series which they lost.

When I think of Cubs Fans I think of Charlie Brown kicking a field goal while Lucy holds the ball.
