As a long time St. Louis Blues fan (Rocking my jersey today for opening night) I can honestly say I know exactly what you are feeling right now. I also know, only too well, what you will be feeling next week too...

The chant of the life-long fan. "Maybe next year!"

In the movie "Back To The Future" a News Paper dated Oct 15, 2015 made mention of the Cubs being in the playoffs. I heard this on XM radio, Flash Felps, show.

According to the Chigago Bar Project:

20 Events that Have Occurred Since the Chicago Cubs Won Their Last World Series

1. Both radio and TV were invented
2. Fourteen teams were added to Major League Baseball
3. George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays
4. Haley's comet passed Earth, twice
5. Harry Caray was born, and died
6. The NBA, NHL and NFL were formed, and Chicago teams won championships in each league

10. Eleven amendments added to the Constitution
11. Prohibition was created and repealed
12. The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, and was re discovered
13. Wrigley Field was built and becomes the oldest park in the National League
14. Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof to hold all of the team's future World Series pennants, which have since rusted and been taken down
15. A combination of 40 Summer and Winter Olympics have been held
16. Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown
17. Swing music, bell-bottoms, and disco came in style, went out of style and came back in style

It wasn't a newspaper, it was a video board. Also the date was October 21, 2015.

I always remember the date because that's my birthday.

But you have to remember that if the pitcher doesn't bat, it isn't really baseball.

(I do, however, remember something about a walkoff home run.)

So did the Cubs, 1907-08.

[wana65stang]

Yes, but at least the jays did it in our life time

[Platokidd]

One thing's for sure this is a young cubs team that'll be a force to be reckoned with for years down the road.
3 rookies in the starting line up. Stocked in the minors...

Just like the Blackhawks
