Personal Statement: Should The Cubs Win The World Series

I believe that you Chicago Cubs are doing very well. I hope after your loss in the National League Playoffs, you guys rebound, and make it to the World Series next year.

Last year a whole nation came together to cheer on the Toronto Blue Jays as they made their bid to win the World Series. It was a feat that they had not accomplished in over 20 years. The excitement across Canada was unbelievable! People from all over the country were travelling to Toronto and the opponent’s city to show their support for the Jays. Unfortunately, their efforts were cut short in a series loss to the Kansas City Royals who ended up World Series Champions. Now with the 2016 season around the corner, can the Blue Jays make it back to back playoff berths with the changes that have been made in the front office, pitching rotation and player trades?

After that second Philly loss, the Cubs were 84-60 and the Mets had pulled ahead at 85-57. The Mets would not look back. The Cubs' eight-game losing streak finally ended the next day in St. Louis, but the Mets were in the midst of a ten-game winning streak, and the Cubs, wilting from team fatigue, generally deteriorated in all phases of the game. The Mets would go on to win the World Series. The Cubs, despite a respectable 92-70 record, would be remembered for having lost a remarkable 17½ games in the standings to the Mets in the last quarter of the season.

The Chicago White Sox of 1919 were a clear favorite to win the World Series. They had all of the odds on their

The Black Sox had a good chance to be champions if they didn't decide to throw the

Perhaps you think of the Cubs as cheaters because of Sammy Sosa, but the Cubs organization did not know or have anything to do with this cheating unlike the New England patriots. The Cubs are a liked team because they don’t do much wrong. Although they don’t win many games, they still have one of the largest fan bases in the MLB. Joe Maddon the cubs manager is not a yeller, or a man who overworks his players, in fact they had a pajama party to celebrate their team's no-hitter a couple of weeks ago.

Did you know that the Chicago cubs and St. Louis cardinals have never played each other in the playoffs till 2015. The Chicago cubs and St. Louis cardinals have been rivals since the late 19th century, but back then they were called the Chicago white stockings and the St. Louis brown stockings. The rivalry between them has been filled with hatred, friendship, and a lot of games between the two organizations. The cubs played the cardinals in the NLDS this year and won in four games 3-1. The cubs won the series by home runs, good pitching, and a healthy team.

The Cubs won their first World Series in 1908, defeating the Detroit Tigers and Ty Cobb four games to two. They followed this up the next year by winning their second consecutive World Championship. How many times have they been to the world series?

The Chicago Cubs had not won a World Series since 1908. They also broke a curse that was set the last time they got this far 71 years ago. On October 6, 1945, a month after the end of World War II, a Chicago tavern owner named William "Billy" Sianis went to Wrigley Field, intending to attend Game 4 of the World Series with his pet goat, Murphy. According to the Billy Goat Tavern website, while both had tickets, the goat was denied entry. No animals were allowed in the ballpark, plus Murphy smelled bad. Sianis, according to legend, threw up his arms and proclaimed, "The Cubs ain't gonna win no more.” The Cubs will never win a World Series so long as the goat is not allowed in Wrigley Field." They had not won since. Until now. The Chicago Cubs

No secret. I am not a Cubs fan and certainly not a Red Sox fan. However, I am a fan of Theo Epstein. The 42-year-old phenom has accomplished a feat that no one will ever and could ever do again. He brought a championship to two teams in droughts spanning a combined 194 years.

The Chicago Cubs were the only team in the MLB to go the longest without winning a World Series. Then it happened, November 2,2016. They finally did it. The Chicago Cubs had won the World Series! They had broken the curse. They waited 108 long years since their last National win.

With all of the negative energy that surrounded the Cubs, its fans that reside on the north side, stayed true to the team even though the rest of the country would consider the Chicago Cubs misfits who couldn't even beat a High School baseball team. Now the Cubs are one of the most dangerous teams playing in professional Baseball, and the White Sox's can't get into the playoffs even if they brought tickets to the game.

In the article “Fans of the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians have waited a lifetime -- or more -- to see their teams win championships” by Chris Isidore, Chris states that people have waited more that whole lifetime to see their team go to the World Series and the prices are out of this world. The price is $3900 for only one ticket and parking for one car, and that is only for one

To me the battle between the Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox is a good battle of good and evil. It's a battle of culture, it's a battle of lifestyle, it's a battle of politics and a battle of social class and also a battle of our environment. This is not just two teams in close proximity. We're not in the same league and these six games are pretty meaningless in terms of the season. The Sox/Cubs series shut down the city, literally in the case mayor Daley closing city hall to go to the game, and the most passionate sports fans in the country at the throat of their neighbors. To me the White Sox and Cubs rivalry is more than just baseball within city limits. It's more than a 12 stop difference on the red line. It's about Hyde park versus Rogers park. It's about the south side Irish, Morgan park, Mt.Greenwood and Beverly it's about honestly two different forms of games altogether AL vs NL. It's about tattoo covered fans who loves their team even though they live in spotlight and it's about fans ,who have waited 100 years and have never seen a parade for their team down Michigan ave. it's about the disgusted feeling each team has for each other, the true feeling of animosity and spite comes out. What we all know how things get started drunken fights at barbecue amongst friends who defend their teams. It's mainly about having hope for your teams no matter of losing or winning and to celebrate as hard as you can after winning and sticking to your values as a Sox or a Cubs fan and defending that other team against
