They have come close a number of times. Chicago does have happier fans in the Bears, Blackhawks, and the Bulls.

Murphy Some coincidence! Daniel Murphy of the NY Mets hits six home runs in six playoff games setting a major league post game record and almost single handed beat the Cubs. The owner of Billy Goat Tavern in 1945 put a curse on the Cubs because he was told to leave Wrigley and take his goat named MURPHY with him.

You decide what this means---some coincidence. Thus, the billy goat curse lives on!

Wow. What a disappointing series. My expectations were so sky high for exciting Cubs baseball. Oh well, wait till next year.

All Cub fans were hopeful after 97 Wins during the regular season. The best thing that came out of the playoffs was the Cubs win over the Cardinals. There seemed to be a "let down" after the Cubs/Cardinals series.

However, give the NY Mets credit----they played better and deserved to win.

I was rooting for the CUBS because the fans deserve a win. Damn have a heart give these people a break. Maybe....you know the rest. Sorry Chi-town. Mets suck anyway. Gonna get their butts handed to them now.

That's what my Dad said. 101 wins (including playoffs) compared to 73 wins last year. Huge improvement!

Fun time in the City by the Bay

My father has been waiting all his life for the Cubs to win the World Series. I do hope it happens for him this Season.

That ninth inning last night was worth staying up for, that was the largest comeback in playoff history. Three runs, you would of thought more. What really made a difference from the previous night, was being able to score that 4th go ahead run and Maddon could bring in his closer, who never threw a pitch under 100mph.

After tying the score, then came the bunt, the pitcher made a perfect throw to get the lead runner at 2nd, but that relay to first killed the Giants. The Cubs still got their man on second base in scoring position. That made all the difference in world not having to go to extra innings with the Giants getting more at bats.

From a Die Hard Met fan whose team has caused Cub fans so much anguish it is time to end the drought. Go Cubs

Ron Santo and Ernie Banks are looking for bragging rights up in Heaven.

For Chi-Town, For Zcaveman, For Chicago, For Tal's Dad, please let them catch a break this year.
