If your a Cubs fan do you feel like this year could be THE year?

Question

Now personally I am a Red Sox fan and I personally would like to see a Red Sox vs. Dodgers World Series, but being a Red Sox fan I feel for the Cubs. As everyone knows... the Red Sox were in the same exact boat as the Cubs still are now. If the Red Sox don't make it to the World Series though and the Cubbies do... then I am rooting for Chicago.

Answer 1

Not a Cubs fan, but if I was I don't think I would ever think it was "our year" after decades of heartbreak you pretty much have to accept that your team is not going to win the world series or else you will drive yourself crazy.

Answer 2

Cubs have a good team just don't think they will be able to win the World Series. They may get there (which is a stretch in itself) but I don't think they can win.

Answer 3

I feel like this is the year. Of course, I feel that way every year. The Cubs really only have one weakness and that's winning on the road, which they're improving upon! Their bats need to show up in this year's postseason, which didn't happen last year. If they take care of the hitting and their pitching is decent, they'll go all the way.

Answer 4

It's been deja vu all over again for 100 years. It COULD happen, but it WON'T happen.

Answer 5

Ever sinnce that bartman guy tried to catch a FOUL ball..and received all that hate and death threats..i lost my respect for the cubs and chicago for that matter.

Answer 6

I have nothing against the Cubs & if they win World Series, but I don't think they will, congrats to them but having best record in NL doesn't mean a WS appearance or win.  I still say many of their fans are almost guaranteeing a WS victory & could possibly be let down again

Answer 7

The Cubs do have a strong team and have everything they need to win the World Series...They just need to not choke.

Answer 8

Oh don't forget about the general consensus that for some reason the best team in the NL is going to collapse with no reason whatsoever.

Yes, this is our best chance in recent memory. Count on an Angels v. Cubs WS.

Answer 9

I really hope they do because I have watched them suck since I was a small child. I remember a time when I thought their team could never be better than Sandberg, Dawson, Grace, Maddux. If they don't win this year they never will.ever.  

Answer 10

stop talking about it you are going to jinks them.

i'm a cub fan

Answer 11

I couldn't agree with you more. I'm a huge Sox fan and I've been telling everyone the same thing.  

Answer 12

Yea, I mean the Cubs don't have a real weakness.

Answer 13

Please; the championship droughts of the Red Sox and Cubs were similar only in duration.

The Sox would, about once a decade, get to the World Series, only to lose, typically in agonizing fashion.

The Cubs have simply embraced ineptitude for the better part of the last century. Cubs fans never sat for a World Series; and, until the last 20 years, hardly ever a playoff appearance.

Anyway... I'm all for the Cubs winning one and getting the monkey off the franchise's back.

Answer 14

YES!!! Go Cubbies

Answer 15

real strong team...a few things happened this season that never does. that makes me think the cubs maybe have finally bought a pennant, and maybe a WS.

the pitching is soft, though. and bartman deserves all that he got.

Answer 16

definatley !!!
