I think the Cubs have a real good chance. I will be rooting for them on the NL side and the Tampa Bay Rays on the AL side.

Should they both make the World Series, I have to go for the Rays since I am an AL fan. Unless the dreaded Red Sox Nation gets in (fat chance) then I am for the Cubs.

zcaveman, I grew up near Comiskey Park (White Sox) so I'm truly a White Sox fan, but also a Chicago fan.

Somehow, even with a good team, the Cubbies fold at some point, it's just understood.
But I'll root for my teams anyway.

But I like the Rays and Red Sox too. Good luck.

Being born and raised in Chicago, I have to say that all Chicago Fans are extremely loyal. They come out in all kinds of weather, whether their team is winning or on a losing streak. Once a Cub fan, always a Cub fan. Do any of you remember the popular bar across the street from the the ballpark called "The Cubbie Bear". Some wonderful times there.

So, go Cubs! 040 040 040 I'll love'em whether they win or lose! :#1:

Yes, I remember the bar. My husband says we should go to Chicago, if the Cubs make the World Series, even if we can't get tickets. The atmosphere will be something. Would love to watch the games at one of the bars, by Wrigley.

I am so depressed! I have lived in the Chicago area my entire life and I honestly thought that this might be the year, but the Cubs probably played the worst series all year in the first round of playoffs. I can second guess Pinella and complain about people like Soriano and Ramirez, but I am numb. Oh well, at least the Bears won today.
