“At first, I didn’t know what to do”.
Why should you care about either team?
But Michael Martinez grounded out to third to end Cleveland’s final threat and a roar erupted from Cubs fans as players began to celebrate.
“He was just overjoyed that the Cubs won”, Murtha told the newspaper, “as all the Cubs fans are”.
“2016 is the year for the Cubs and the generations of fans who have been waiting to fly the World Series W”, Emanuel said. This team is brothers forever no matter what.”World Series favorites from the start, the Cubs spent nearly the entire season in first place on the way to a 103-58 record – their highest win total since the 1910 team with 104.They beat the playoff-tested San Francisco Giants in the NLDS”. The hats seen on players’ heads as they danced around the field last night were made ahead of time, for each team, and sent to the stadium with a New Era rep.

With 103 wins in the regular season and a challenging but rewarding post-season, this NL Central team started strong and finished stronger. We hope you make a lot of money, and are pretty sure you will.
It was a sip he waited 32 years to take, and while the beer was certainly flat and probably smelled bad, a longtime Chicago Cubs fan had a sweet taste in his mouth early Thursday morning.
When the rain stopped, the Cubs scored twice in the tenth, to take an 8-to-6 lead. This club didn’t author the cruelest of daggers in the history of a franchise labeled by mishaps despite Rajai Davis’ two-run home run off Aroldis Chapman in the bottom of the eighth. They just didn’t win the title. They had dropped seven consecutive World Series appearances from 1910 to 1945.
The Cubs were five outs away from reaching the World Series at the time.
