Default Cubs AND White Sox in playoffs!!!

Wow! Even though we're Cub fans in this house, it was great to see the White Sox get into the playoffs...

Cubs haven't won a World Series in a century...in fact, the Cubs are selling Tshirts that say, 'centurypeat' on the front!!

Watching the Cubs has been a welcome distraction from the financial turmoil...

Let's go, Cubs!!

My friend's late Dad was hoping to live to see the Cubs win again. He died in February at 102.

His neighbor had been a Sox fan. When the Sox won the world series, he put a banner in his yard, facing my friend's dad's yard saying SOX WIN THE WORLD SERIES.

They had been pals anyway, enjoying their competing teams together. The neighbor died one day; my friend's dad died a day later. I wonder if their rivalry helped to keep them going somehow, they were both widowers.

I bet they're both watching with front row seats from heaven to see how this turns out.

I'm right there with you Frank... GO CUBBIES GO!!!!!!

It would be a dream come true to see a White Sox vs. Cubbies World Series.

I'm so excited to be watching these playoff games.

oh yes it would be so awesome, my son said dad thats not a good idea people would get hurt, I said so, they should keep their mouths shut then , he was apalled at my answer lol, I told him Sean this is a dream I Have held since the 69 cubs did a nose dive in august with some of the best players that ever touched a field, kessinger, santo, williams, huntley, becker, banks, hands, jenkins, holtzman

when I was a kid there was either a scout function or church one I don't recall that, but we got to have this banquet size lunch with Ernie Banks and Randy Huntley, they talked to us and asked us questions, one on one, about moral and future plans we got to shake their hands and we got autographed mini baseball bats

my house was a joke during B Ball season dad was a south sider mom was north sider, so dad and me could listen to the sox on a radio and mom.... got the tv for cubs games lol oh yeah I am a weird one i like both teams but have to say my heart pains for the cubbies and their fans to see them win if it came down to sox vs cubbies

if they go to the world series, I will be making a run to wisconsin for some fireworks, I had a 5-7 minute display box for the sox a few years ago

when i was a kid it was baseball baseball baseball, right field out, running base, 500, pinners(that was off the front steps), we play street ball too in the ally, my first position was catcher I even won park dist champs a few years in a row, I have always like baseball a lot(hockey too)
