Man I went to bed last night thinking the World Series was set...I woke up & somehow Houston had squirmed out of it....
I gotta pull for the astros...then I can be indifferent in the series, not really caring who wins....
But if the Cards win...WOAH man you bet I'm rooting for Chicago, cuz Now that Big Mac is Gone...Even the ex Oakland manager isn't enough to make this cub/athletic fan root for the redbirds
I WAS a "chicago" fan until the cubs went to the playoffs a few years back...the WS fans were SO bitter & rooted Against the Cubs every chance they had Instead of Pulling for the city....It pushed me squarely off the fence & made me a cubbie...I won't root against the WS...there just has to be a dang good reason to root for them like if they were playing either the Cards or the Yankees.
Understood, I was not there But I understand! If they do win though, party in the city!! Woo hoo that will be a blast. When the Bears won in 85 man what a bash they threw!
Well imagine the streets full to capacity. Ticker tape galore. Windows open and people throwing paper out the windows. At one point I lifted my feet off the ground and stayed standing- sardines! Then the bus rolls up with the trophy. There were not many players, but Walter was there- who else did they need! We took a train and ditched school!!
Don't worry. The Cardnials will not be able to win two more in a row to defeat the Astros. They are too beat up. Us Phillies fans have been rooting for everyone but Houston (since they squeeked by to get into the playoffs). It seems that most of us have been rooting for the White Sox to win it all.

Wow tix were sold out in 18 minutes for the world series games 1 & 2...you think people in Chi town are a little anxious for the big games to be back in this city?
Have you seen the guiness commercial w/ the "brilliant!!" guys putting the Limburger on their heads....Classic....& appropriate.....sniff snifff...ewww
Yes Ruby, being a Wisconsinite is definately a blessing.
Be it a cheddarhead, a provolonehead or a swisshead, we're all part of a very special, very exclusive group of people who set the bar when it comes to tailgating, drinking beer, and rooting our teams on to victory.
If you were born in the other 49 so called states, you're simply, well, cursed. Like a kid who's stuck outside the candy store, looking through the window, wishing you could afford a gumdrop.
The fish eggs are freakin UNDEFEATED! How many games have your Packers won? 1? Against people who don't have a city, nonetheless! You probably stole those gum drops from a baby!!
I'm poooooooooooooooooooooor, I'm tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiired, I don't have a ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiity!
THOSE SAINTS GOT EXACTLY WHAT THEY DESERVE!
Wait'll you see what we do to those Vikings over the weekend in the big baggy!!!
Now look Mz, I like your Colts. I respect your Colts. Your Colts are definately my AFC team. But that doesn't make their fans greater than the Packer fans my friend. Our season ticket waiting list is nearly 40,000 people long. If I got on it today I MIGHT get a pair of tickets by the time I'm in my 80's.
We sell out when we're bad, we sell out when we're good. Parents tuck their kids into bed at night under their Packer sheets, wearing their number four Brett Favre jammies. They turn on their Lambaue field night lights and the parents go into the living room to watch a tape of the Ice Bowl........ AGAIN!
Cheeseheads RULE.
It's just that simple.
I mean come on, do your fans EVEN have a nickname? What are you guys the Blacksmiths? The buggy's? I mean, you got nuthin!
It's ok though Mz. I still like you, even though you weren't born into football royalty like I was
You can be my "special" friend from the other side of the tracks. The one my parents warned me about.
But I understand! If they do win though, party in the city!! Woo hoo that will be a blast. When the Bears won in 85 man what a bash they threw!
