damn I wish I would have put a $100 on them to win in vegas   it was 200 to 1 at the start of the season.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

You probably would have suffered through 6 heart attacks before you won your money. You've got to give them credit for pulling it off, after being down 2 games early in the Series. After Chapman gave up a 2 run homer, I thought it was over for sure. I still don't understand why they took Hendricks's out in the 5th, or why they put in Chapman in the 8th. One was doing good, and the other was burned out before he got to the mound. It's by the grace of God they didn't lose.

Wonder how many people will be shot and/or killed in the rioting.

I heard it's the first time they've won the world series in 108 years or somewhere thereabouts.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Correct. The last time they won a World Series was 1908. The last time they were in a World Series was 1945. They went to the National League Championship Series in 1984, 1989, 2003, 2015. Which they all lost.

Well, the prediction of the Cubs winning the World Series in the movie "Back To The Future: Part II" was only one year too early.....
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
