<div class="IPBDescription">Cubs lose...</div> The improbably has just happened. The Marlins have come back from 3-1 to win the NLCS. My sympathies to the Cubs fans on these forums. That's gotta be a tough loss. I feel for you guys I really do. The 95 year championshipless streak continues...

*raises a beer in honor of the fallen Cubs* It was a hell of a fight. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

*Sits here and looks at his cleveland browns poster, and sighs*

Yeah, sorry guys, I really wanted to see them win too, even though Im not a baseball fan.

MedHead · October 2003

Heh, I wanted the Marlins to win.

GOOOO MARLINS!!!!!

Woods who? Prior what?

Got through the 2 best pitchers back to back on their homefield. Never give up!

Onto the World Series!

SoulSkorpion · October 2003

Not that I live anywhere near the US, but my understanding of American baseball (thanks to Bill Bryson's <i>Notes from a Big Country</i>) is that the Cubs are meant to lose? That it's just the way the script goes, or something? Am I completely off, here?

Bummer. I hoped the Cubs would win it.

Isn't the World Series one of those hilarious American events called "World", but no one else gets invited to play?

yeah, thats basically how it went down

nobody actually expected the lovable loosers to pull it off, although it would have been nice

then again I don't really follow baseball...

MrMojo · October 2003

It's the curse, the curse I tells you.

Too bad.

Jefe · October 2003

95 years? really? wow.

Keyser · October 2003

Well, maybe next year.

MonsieurEvil · October 2003

Maybe.

Stupid stinking pretend team like the Marlins (which will be contracted and gone within 5 years anyways) gets to go with all 50 of their lame fairweather crapbird fans and their abomination of a football field stadium. Going to be laughing my arse off when they can't even fill their stadium for a World Series game without an opposing team's help. During the NLCS at least 25% of the people there were Cubs fans that travelled from all over to see the Cubs make a pennant bid... Miami is so worthless.

So disappointing...

NumbersNotFound · October 2003

As long as they don't put big exaust pipes on their shoes, i'm fine with the marlins.

Hey MonsE, just curious, where do you live? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

ScareCrow · October 2003

Wow....what a way to vent Monse. Marlins were a better team. Cubs had better fans but guess what.....FANS DON'T DECIDE THE GAME. Talk crap about the Marlins and Miami all ya want. Cubs lost fair and square cuz of the 95 years of pressure on their shoulders. Not the curse, not the goats, not the fan, just the Cubs as a team failed. Marlins were just a better team plain and simple.

GOOOO MARLINS!!!!

Teflon · October 2003

At least most of our players aren't short, stumpy, and look exactly the same. I swear to god every time a Marlin was at bat I thought it was the same guy.

MrMojo · October 2003

I blame goatse. The old man's homoerotism distracted the Cubs.

Did I say the Cubs were a better team? Please show me where. Did I mention the fan? Where?

The point I was making is Marlins "fans" don't deserve to see their team in the world series. Using the word "fans" is a long stretch of the imagination, considering your team is #3 on the contraction list due to apathetic ticket sales, and you will not be able to fill your own football field in your own world series. The marlins do not deserve to exist due to their "fans" not existing, hence I can vent about your "fans" all the doo dar day.

This is going to be one the of the lowest-rated world series ever if the Yankees get in. The marlins winning was terrible for baseball as a sport, when baseball needs every real fan it can get. Cubs-Yankees or Cubs-Sox would have helped a lot, but now everyone will just watch crappy football. Bah! Bud Selig deserves to die.

Teflon - I live in Raleigh, North Carolina, but I'm from Chicago.

Ness · October 2003

Fans so loyal to the Cubs that they help the Marlins out with fouls! Ahaha, Jeb Bush gave that guy Asylum in Florida (he'll be moving here from his POLICE PROTECTED HOUSE), and several Florida hotels and restaurants will be giving him freebies.

booked. [roofling]

MonsieurEvil · October 2003

That guy had nothing to do with the loss. Saying that some fan influenced a 7-game series is the pinnacle of baseball ignorance. Anyone in his position would have done the same, as you can see from replays. Hell, it never would have happened at 'Pro-Play Stadium' (utterly revolting bit of sellout commercialism in that name, GG Florida), as no one would have been in the stands to catch the ball in the first place.

Wow, that's awesome. The year you won the World Series with an expansion team roster of superstars, you still only managed to barely fill half your seats on average. And this year, where you are going to the WS again, it's an even more pathetic 25%. Woohoo, you go on with your bad selves, you diehard fish fans! Both of you!

Bleh.

Ness · October 2003

I think like only one guy in this thread mentioned himself being a Marlins fan. Maybe Monse is just a little sore about a certain team's loss.

*chortle*

MonsieurEvil · October 2003

Wow, you have an amazing grasp of my subtle posts. Maybe I really am sore about a team I have followed for 30 years. Hmm!! Food for thought!

Next up, Ness tells us about how we need air to breath, and how the sun is very hot.
