Just think how happy those 40,000 people that have tickets for tomorrow's game are.

I will watch it in the comfort of my home and IF they are winning I will go down to the park around the 7th inning. I will cheer for you Nat. Bye bye, I can't beleive that I'm still up. I have to get up @ 6:00 am,

The question is: Can the Cubs win in spite of Dusty Baker?

I have been crazy for the Cubs since I was a kid..grew up in Chicago...south side, so not the friendliest of areas to be a Cubs fan. My heart broke last night and visions of 1984 flew through my head! But I remain faithful and true to my Cubs...who give me the lingering hope for tonight!
My good thoughts and wishes are with Wood and all you die-hards!!!
i said wood and hard....sorry had to go there ...;-0

Where on the south side?
I grew up at 95th and Yates. But my family were all Cubs fans, and still are although they live in LA now.

Grew up in the south suburbs, then moved to 111th and Troy.
My best wishes to you tonight! My sister was a Sox's fan...made it hard. I'm still not giving up!

Just in case we need to remember how bad it can be... here are 20 major events that have occurred since the Chicago Cubs last laid claim to a World Series Championship: _
_
1. Radio was invented. _(Cubs fans get to hear their team lose)
2. TV was invented. _(Cubs fans get to see their team lose)
3. Baseball added 14 teams. _(Cubs fans get to see and hear their team lose to more clubs)
4. George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays.
5. Halley's comet passed Earth - twice.
6. Harry Caray was born... and died. _Incredible, but true!
7. The NBA, NHL, NFL, IHL, and ISL were formed. _(Each of those Chicago teams have each won championships)
8. Man landed on the moon. _(As have several home runs given up by Cubs pitchers)
9. Sixteen U.S. presidents were elected _.
10. There were 11 amendments added to the Constitution.
11. Prohibition was created and repealed.
12. The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, was discovered, and became the subject of major motion pictures. _The latter giving Cubs fans hope that something that finishes on the bottom can come out on top.
13. Wrigley Field was built and becomes the oldest park in the National League.
14. Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof to hold all of the
team's future World Series pennants. _(Those flag poles have since rusted and been taken down)
15. A combination of 40 Summer and Winter Olympic games have been held.
16. Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown. _(Several thanked Cubs pitchers)
17. Bell-bottoms came in style, went out of style, and came back in.
18.The Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks and the Florida Marlins have all won the World Series.
19. The Cubs played 14,153 regular-season games. _(They lost the majority of them)
20. Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and New Mexico were added to the Union.

If it's a Yankees-Marlins World Series, I probably won't watch. I've boycotted the World Series before (I didn't watch any of the Yankees-Padres Series a few years back), and I'll have no qualms about doing the same this time, since it would likely be a four-game sweep. There are few things in this world that I hate more than watching the Yankees (and Herr Steinbrenner) celebrate!

Wow such confidence about the Marlins!
