Cheatinals season is over
- Thread starter Charlie Marlow
- Start date
At least the little bears finally did something, oh thats right they have not won anything yet.
Probably going to be the best team in baseball for the foreseeable future. Brent Musburgers says..... "DEAL WITH IT!" Go Cubs Go
Congrats on the win, now go buy you some rooftop seats for the next round. I hear the view is great because there are no championship flags to get in your way.
Best team in baseball, yeah third in their division and the last team in the NL to make the playoffs only because of the wildcard. The wildcard has made baseballs 162 game schedule irrelevant.
Re-read the post. Foreseeable future. It's ok... After their World Series you can jump on the bandwagon.
I remember many fans and media saying that when they had Prior, Young and other young talent. They've had a special year and many things have gone their way so we'll see if that continues. Sometimes all of the young talent comes together and blossoms and sometimes it never builds on the early promise. I do know this though, if they do continue to be successful they will have to keep dealing with the Cardinals because they are the best run franchise in baseball right now. Just look what they've done over the past 10 years and continue to do in years with injuries and other obstacles faced. Long live the curse of the billy goat!!!!!
Yes, the young talent years back didn't pan out agreed. They also didn't win 97 games, or just have their 1-6 hitters hit bombs in a game, and many other stats.... Go Cubs..
Such a catchy tune! Let's all sing along!!!

I love it, a perfect example of a poor sport Cardinal fan. Classy and Cardinal fan are two words rarely seen together.

After the series ended I texted and emailed several of my Cub friends and offered them congratulations. Unfortunately some of the stuff I'm seeing on here and on facebook indicates Cub fan is quickly becoming K-State fan of 1998. Too bad.
I can't stand the Cubs, or the Giants for that matter (San Francisco was last year's "last team in" as the second wild card). And, I don't really like the second wild card. But the playoff format is what it is, and if a second wild card team takes home a World Series title, good for them. A lot of people thought allowing any wild card teams into the playoffs cheapened the regular season, and were opposed to that change. And yet, I don't see any asterisks on the Cards' 2011 flag. Cardinals also won the series in 2006 after winning a really bad division with an 83-79 record, but I'm guessing nobody in St. Louis talks about how meaningless that regular season was.
Last place Reds fan latching on to a Cubs victory to spew out sour grapes at the 11 time World Series Champion STL Cards. Well, that's not a little pathetic at all...
Back to where the real conversation should be directed...Congrats Cub fans. Pretty damn exciting team. Should be a fun rivalry for years to come.
Hold off on the World Series talk, they have not even made it there yet and realize just because you may be the best team in baseball does not guarantee that you will when anything in the playoffs. In baseball the pla
Winning and Cubs are two words rarely seen together as well. Stay Classy!!
I agree 100% I said it back in 2011, that the cards backed into the playoffs and did not deserve to be there. Was I happy they won, yeah, but that is playoff baseball. With todays format and all the off days, the best baseball team rarely wins, it is just the way it is. That is why I think it is crazy when people talk in college football about two teams from the same conference getting into the four team playoff. If you can't win your conference or division you should not get another shot, just my opinion.
Cubs vs Royals (hopefully) in World Series. If so, either way a fan base would get to experience something they never thought could happen....
Cubs had 3rd best record in baseball. Just beat 1 and 2
If you're a Cubs fan then enjoy the moment. Up to now, you've earned it. As a Reds fan I'm probably not going to root for you. It's been fun watching how good you guys have become. My Rangers have a game 5 this afternoon. If they advance I'll be with them all the way. Lose and I'll back the Royals. If Rangers/Royals both get put out then I'll probably go with the NL winner.
I think the post is funny. Talk smack all you want Cubs fans. Cardinals fans need to get over it. You've got a great organization and seem to be in the hunt the last ten years or so. You get spoiled. For now, you are sitting at home watching those that are left. No need to be bitter. Don't turn yourself into those self-loathing privileged/entitled Yankees fans.

Unoriginal. I can now add a word to describe you as a Cardinal fan. So definitely not classy but definitely not original sums you up succintly.
Only because they were given two extra chances. That is why in baseball the regular season which is 162 games, is irrelevant. All you have to do is get in the playoffs and anything can happen.
Boy you can't take a little trash talk at all, you must be pretty thinned skin if that irritates you this much to try and describe someone on a message board. Talk about being classy, you words seem to be classless.
Why would any of us Cardinal fans be mad? Are the Cubbies going to suddenly catch up with what the Cardinals did this past decade? One postseason series win in how many years now?
Maybe they'll quit whining? The Red Sox whining got to the point that they actually made a show about it on HBO. Thank god they finally won.(Well,...maybe not so thankful for that....but) Sometimes you just can't stand listening to the losers whine anymore.
Yes they are. The Cubs will probably win the next 3 World Series. Once they do this all of the talent will continue to line up for Chicago. It's not out of the question to win the next 5 WS. In the process they will continue to dominate the Cards and give them a sympathy game in the series like they did this year. Next year it won't surprise me to see the Cubs 1-9 hitters hit a homerun in a game they are going to be that good. The future is the Cubs.
You obviously don't believe in what Marty McFly say with his own eyes. Set your cruise to 88 and go see the future for yourself.
Maybe Bartman should have kept his but in the seat and not reached for the ball. He made his own bed.
Disagree in some regards HD. Count me in the group that still believes Alou catches that ball if that idiot (Bartman) doesn't reach over and interfere. Any fan worth anything would understand that situation- 7 outs from being in their first world series in how many years-and do everything in their power to allow a player to make an out. His fault or not, they lost all momentum after that and the Marlins stormed back and won the game..
Now I do agree people tormented him and it went to far...but he messed up royally.

They still had the rest of the game and the next game to win......so there is that.
Complete bullsh*it! None of us know what we would have done in that instance. Regardless of what he did, those loser fans had to find yet another reason why their team continually craps itself.
Not a Cubs fan, but I don't mind them. Hate the Reds. I'm just not sad whenever a cheating organization goes down in flames.
As far as Bartman, that was pathetic. Cubs panicked and pissed down their legs at first adversity and rather than own it, throw some fan under the bus. Pretty much destroyed the guy's life.
Absolutely. Its embarrassing, pathetic and disgusting. Wrigley could burn to the ground as far as Im concerned for the way that dude was treated. If the Cubs win the World Series their dumb fans might burn the entire city to the ground anyway. The city will go from a steaming pile of homicide to to a steaming pile of arson.

My bad on the Reds thing. Thought I remember you being a fan. If you are going to rip other teams, you must announce some affiliation. Now, go and enjoy your giant bowl of sour grapes that the Redbirds have been serving for decades.
