My pat line about the Cubs and payroll is that the amount of merchandise the Cubs would sell off a world series championship would more than cover for a big payroll.
I would want to go to the future, 25 years in the future, and see if the Cubs ever win a World Series.
I do sincerely hope the Cubs win a World Series. After I die.
With the Cubs, they've gone so long without a World Series championship, they wanted to win every day. I want that too, but I didn't feel comfortable.
I imagine myself as the broadcaster for a Cubs-White Sox World Series, a Series that would last seven games, with the final game going extra innings before being suspended because of darkness at Wrigley Field.
Baseball is a business. Sure, we fans are wistful dreamers who fantasize about glory on the diamond, but to the people who hold the purse strings, the Cubs win the economic World Series every year.
We all know the Red Sox did not win a World Series for 86 years after unloading Ruth, and the Cubs just might be carrying some heavy weight for past karmic transgressions.
Someday, the Chicago Cubs are going to be in the World Series...
The last time the Cubs won the World Series was 1908. The last time they were in one was 1945. Hey, any team can have a bad century.
What does a mama bear on the pill have in common with the World Series? No cubs.
My dream was to win the World Series, and I know the fans' dream was to win the World Series as well. So we are on the same page, and I really enjoy my time in Houston.
I'm an escaped car thief. I broke out of prison to see the Cubs in the World Series.
Getting to be in Chicago when the Cubs won the World Series was one of the most magical experiences I think I've ever had in a city.
I think if I have one message, one thing before I die that most of the world would know, it would be that the event does not determine how to respond to the event. That is a purely personal matter. The way in which we respond will direct and influence the event more than the event itself.
I'm a Cubs fan. As a kid, the Cubs were my team.
It would be like when the Cubs won the World Series. Everybody in the country has probably been cheering for them for so long because they've been suffering for so long. And you want to cheer for teams like the Browns.
