Joe Buck alias?

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Joe Buck alias?

You're dead to me.

 

[bosoxs45]

I hope Steve Bartman sleeps well tonight.

 

[Statorama]

Maddon has been through this before, evidenced by his huge champagne goggles 

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Must click

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

You're dead to me.

Theo officially a legend at 42 years of age. 

Give him his own wing at the HOF?

 

[Zegras11]

glad Ben won it

 

[hagmania]

Alright you lovely people, I gotta go have a drink or twelve.

I never thought it would happen, just stunned and so happy.

 

[rodg12]

Zobrist the MVP!

 

[Capella]

Zobrist MVP, Maddon winning manager, even the guy who got the save was a Ray. Fml. Cheap ####ing ######## owner. 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

The Parks And Rec Prophecy about the Cubs winning the World Series came true.  

I suppose Elton John is going to buy Chik-Fil-A next.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Ohhhhhh.... The Chevrolet "surprise!"

 

[Wrigley]

Just unbelievable 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Zobrist?  Really?

Not that it matters, but Rizzo was the glue IMO. 

 

[Northern Voice]

Ohhhhhh.... The Chevrolet "surprise!"

Does it have technology and stuff?

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

It's all good.  

I was disappointed in myself when I heard Joe Buck's words so similar to that post.  I'll work harder next time.  It's not you; it's me.

 

[sho nuff]

Oh, i won a Camaro...do i have to grow a mullet?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

We're gonna give you a Chevy Cruse.

Oh thanks.  Will probably last 33k miles amirite? 

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Does it have technology and stuff?

Please only express yourself in emojis, thanks. 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Does it have technology and stuff?

We can only hope.

 

[Pipes]

Zobrist the MVP!

If the Indians had won I think Madden would've been MVP.

 

[Corporation]

AL:

TOR over BAL, then TEX

BOS over CLE

TOR over BOS

NL:

SF over NYM

CHI over SF in a long series

WAS over LA

CHI over WAS in another long series

WS:

CHI over TOR in 5

Called it. Never in doubt. 

All time classic series

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Bill Murray on the field!  Never get sick of that guy, he's the hot stripper of male actors. 

 

[Zegras11]

What about the kid from Mission Viejo High that posted in his 1993 yearbook that Cubs would win it in 2016?

Before you scream hoax, my kids went there and my daughter baby sat the kids of a gal on the page before this guy and she verified it.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Congrats again Cubs fans. You deserve it. Wrigley games in the bleachers are an experience that everyone should enjoy if you like baseball.

And if you don't like baseball, just stand in the bleachers for the party.

 

[ChiefD]

Thank God a couple of Royals showed to win the Series for the Cubs.

 

[TheAristocrat]

Bill Murray on the field!  Never get sick of that guy, he's the hot stripper of male actors. 

Bill is seven notches above you in my gay experience rankings but I hope you take that as a compliment.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Is there a more punchable face than the one of Crane Kanney?

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Chevy won some automotive awards!

Why?  Because they make so many ####ty cars it's just a numbers game that they win awards.  Thank you Chevy, you're the below average American dream in a 2k pound vehicle that will lose 3/4 of its value seven months after you drive it off the lot.

And Rizzo should have been MVP. 

 

[CBusAlex]

well both teams gave it there best so id say their both winners here tonight the only losers are the guys who worked overtime making the cleveland wins commercials we never got to see and you can take that to the ad bank ben zobrost

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Frank Chance was the guy who was donkey-punching hookers on road trips because they couldn't vote then, and it was allowed.  Not sure if @Eephus has a Frank Chance story, but it wouldn't pass the PG rating here in the FFA. 

 

[Bruce Dickinson]

Millions of drunk Cubs fans rioting in Heaven following World Series win

 

[rodg12]

What a fantastic series! What a fantastic postseason!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Still think Tito won the Manager battle, just didn't have enough horses to get to the finish line.  Connie Mack would have refused the post-game interview, he would have gone to the clubhouse and immediately slashed salaries and got his off-season farming plan in order.

I can't believe a team with Mike Napoli hitting fourth was anywhere near a postseason, much less one bounce from winning the Series.

Tell that to the 2013 Red Sox, the worst team I've ever watched win a championship in any sport.

Totally agree with this. Only mistake I thought he made was using Miller in Game 4 for so long when they were up big.

I agree it was tough, but you can only beat your Klubot-Miller-Allen horses so much before it finally backfires. Same with Maddon and Lester-Chapman. Then again, if Maddon doesn't get too cute and pull Hendricks when he was in cruise control, none of this fun probably ever happens.

 

[Pipes]

This isn't whining it's the truth.  Madden was horrible like pulling Hendricks too early, pitching Chapman last night in a blowout,  the 2 strike bunt.  The cubs won because they have a more talented team not because of their manager.

Too soon.

Apparently everyone in the world is a Cubs fan, this is new to me.
