As a life long Cubs fan I still don't feel this is real.   I love the Panthers but I think this is bigger for me.   I'v watched at least 130 full games this year for the Cubs and grown to love this team.    Every player is out there having fun, and I just don't feel this from NFL players, there is just too many money involved or something, or just the culture.    Anyway, I appreciate the emotion this team has shown and they were a pleasure to watch this year.  What a perfect season (albeit not an easy playoff).    The Indians are a fantastic team and I wouldn't be surprised if both teams are back next year.  They don't even have their best player, so they are going to be a nightmare for the AL next year.   I respect that team and Francona.

That being said, so many great storylines here. 

1) Obviously, 108 years and the curse.  Theo breaking TWO curses over his career and only being 39.  

2) Speaking of 39, Ross retires a world series champ and hit a homer (oldest player in world series history to hit one).  I love this guy.

3) What a crazy start to Kris Bryant's career.  First two years:  Rookie of the Year, Two all-stars, two playoffs (and a championship) and most likely an MVP award.

4) Seven games and 10 innings?  What an amazing series.   This was huge for baseball and I know a lot were watching.  I really think it's going to make a rejuvenation with the football CTE and NFL bad product.    There isn't much better than MLB postseason (I heard NHL is great though).  

5) A treat watching Bill Murray and doing interviews while drunk after the win lol.

6) There was like half the crowd of Cubs fans in Cleveland, insane.

7) Kyle Schwauber is a beast.  If he played the three games at home, he's the series MVP.  What a story, not only to come back, but to be elite and steal a base lol.

8) Coming back from 3-1?  Hardly happens.

    • Great teams build through the draft and have several young players that start that are on rookie contracts. It's important to hit on players in rounds 4 thru 7.  These should be future starters and solid depth.  When you hit on most of your picks you free up a lot of cap space for those one- or two-year players to fill spots you are thin at. No GM is going to perfect on all their picks.  You're going to whiff every once in a while.  That was Hurney problem.  He'd nail the first pick but after that it was reach after reach and we couldn't get any depth on this team. I'm excited about Morgan as our GM and hopefully he'll be around a long time.  It will be even better if Canales can continue to grow as a head coach, both in the development of young players and play calling. I remember last season after Young came back in the lineup and started to perform well.  We saw different plays I had only seen other teams use.   If Canales's play design and play calling continue to grow. Morgan and Canales will be linked together for a long time.  It would be nice to see a Coach and GM together for a decade or two. Go Panthers
    • They also came out for the encore and the singers were dressed in canes jerseys. Pretty fuging cool.
