There's more to baseball than having a championship ring. (Of course, a Cubs fan would have that perspective though). There's history and tradition. We have an actual likable team in a stadium that's worth going to.

A couple of years ago, the Cubs were playing the Jays in Toronto. We went up for the weekend. On Sat, sat in the seats right behind the dugout. On Sun, went out to the bleachers. Fans were seemingly luke warm on their team. I had some great conversations with the bleachers people. We chatted about traditions at the ballpark and the guys were frustrated that Toronto didn't have any (except, maybe, opening and closing the rooftop at random times).

Our stadium is a big toilet. I'd love for them to replace it but the location is amazing. Tradition? Meh, the Leafs have tradition. I'd rather they be good.

As for the unlikableness of the team it's really just Jose Bautista and we don't like him either. He's on his way out of town this winter. No chance the Jays give him what he wants.

Hendricks looks locked in and, oddly enough, the bats are alive versus Kershaw!

Yup, 4-0 now. Kershaw's fastball staying up in the zone and they are teeing off on it.

5-0. You gotta wonder how long the Dodgers are going to stick with Clayton. The Cubs are on him.

Have to pinch it for him the next time he comes up I would say

Pinch hitting for him now with Either. Hendricks looks so locked in.

Another knock on him for post season performance.

Theo could run for mayor at this point.

He wouldn't have to run. He could just walk in and take the office.

Nicely done Cubs. Now please end the misery. Cleveland can keep waiting for their misery to end.

Cubs in 6 over Cleveland

MLB definitely got the dream storyline matchup they were hoping for.
