2016 MLB Postseason Thread

Fenway's a little like that, but it helps that of the row of nightspots across the street from the Green Monster, only one is sports oriented. The rest are actual clubs, which don't attract that many Sox fans who're kind of afraid of the regular clientele. So fans disperse a few blocks or more in different directions for postgame drinking.

 

Exactly. The guy who suffered Cubs games a helluva lot longer than Caray did and no one remembers. Been kind of hoping they'd honor him one year by NOT singing during the stretch but, oh well ...

 

Ahem.

 

The Chicago ratings are really impressive when you factor in the surely high percentage of White Sox fans who had their electricity shut off for nonpayment.

 

Goosebumps.

 

As a Deep South Sider, i.e. the Indiana side, I could hardly have experienced greater pleasure than: (1) Missing Game 1 of the Cubs World Series; (2) Missing Game 1 because I was st a John Cougar fucking Mellencamp show.

 

I would like to know the percentage of Cubs "fans" downtown today who could tell me who won last year's World Series.

 

I actually feel for you. Back in 2007 I was briefly trying to come to grips with the thought of Missouri playing for a national title. These are the kinds of things that can shake a person's world view.

 

I still get a little salty about all the Kane jerseys with tags hanging down at the rally in 2010 from a sports town that was aggressively hostile toward hockey for a long time

 

I mean, when was the sample taken? If it was after "lights out" at the lockup, that's even more impressive.

 

Can I just go on record as saying I wish "G.O.A.T." was over? There is no chance that cover holds up in 10 years.
