edit your post please

get that crap out of here.

this is about the cubs

 

[Bleedred]

I was just about to make a joke about Carl Edwards not being old enough to have a kid in MLB.

That was actually my first thought, since he's Carl Edwards Jr.

''Carl Edwards ain't quite old enough to have a son that grown up. And they don't really look alike either''

Now you KNOW I'd like to see that happen as much as you would!

Congrats to the Cubs!

I don't think the Mets would have lasted very long against them, might be for the best that they went out in the wild card play-in game. I never thought they'd beat Chicago this time.

LOL there's Bill Murray again.

If not for David Ross' homer they would have lost. MVP.

This is a great night for baseball.

I cannot believe the Cubs won the World Series.

I think the apocalypse is near.

Perhaps a giant meteor is going to save us from choosing between an evil gangster and an obnoxious buffoon.

What the NHL gets right is they give the players the trophy first

I've seen a growing number of these bumper stickers in the last few months. I'm not really a bumper sticker kind of guy, but I would totally put one on there if I was.

Why do they do the trophy presentation in the locker room? What a joke

I have to admit, I haven't watched many World Series endings in many, many years. I did watch the last two though. Only because the Mets were in it last year and this one had too interesting of storyline because of the two teams, it was too hard to wanna avoid it.

But I just started noticing last year that they now give out the trophy in the locker room. I'm not sure what year they started doing this. It used to be awarded out on the field every year, up until fairly recently.

I'm not sure if I'm remembering right, but I swear I watched one earlier in the decade and they were giving it out on the field. I'm pretty sure they did in 09 when the Yankees last won. I remember seeing the end of it, my roommates had it on. I'm pretty sure the Devils played at home that night and I had just gotten back from the game.

And the cup is amazing, while this trophy is ****.

Completely agree.

I'm telling you, it's something they only recently started doing in the last few years.

Maybe they're only doing it in the locker room when the road team wins these days? I'm pretty sure the World Series ended at Citi Field last year. It ended with the home team losing again this year.

I'm not sure if that's the reason why, but I always remember it being awarded out on the field, up until recent years. Very recent years.

I believe ya, just seems foolish, it's not like there weren't a ton of Cubs fans in the building that would have loved to seen the trophy presentation to their team.

The NFL trophy is pretty sad too, it's ridiculously plain, as is the FIFA World Cup trophy, which is ugly as hell.

 

[MadDevil]

Those trophies both look like they could be used for...um...other purposes.

I was very surprised at the pops the Cubs were getting, like when they scored those runs in the 10th.

The building seemed like there were more maybe a little more than 50% Cubs fans there.

Didn't surprise me.

Cleveland is only about a 5 hour drive from Chicago, and Chicago is a MUCH richer area, with a much larger fan base.

Greatest World Series Game 7 I've ever seen.

The last three World Series have been won by the road team, 2013 with the Red Sox was the last time the home team won the clincher and they did do the presentation on the field then. So yeah it's only when the road team wins (which has been the last three years) they do it in the locker room.

 

[Maine Fan]

Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs I am not a baseball fan so only watched game 7.

 

[MoonDragn]

Is it the beginning of the end of the world? Cubs winning world series..
