In our lifetime we have seen the Red Sox break their 86 year World Series drought, the White Sox break their 88 year drought and the Cubs break their 108 year drought. There was a whole generation that never saw any of them win it all and here we have seen all 3.
If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Chuck Norris says its beef, then it's beef.

If women had apostrophes instead of periods they would be even more possessive!

Heck, even the Saints won a Super Bowl!

There are 2 baseball teams that have never made it to the World Series.  There are 6 more that have made but never won.  So there are a few teams in worse shape than those three were.

Funny, the Turks seem to be trying to bring it back now.

I had much the same thought ;)

None of them have even been in existence for 86 years so they have time :)

I got to watch the last inning while I was at work last night.  The rest of my shift turned out to be the night from hell, but it was a nice way to start it off, at least.  :)

Except that the Marlins won it twice in their first 20 years and the Diamondbacks won one in their first 3 years.

True and the Mets won it in their 7th year. Those that haven't ever won have plenty of time to win before they get into 'legendary loser' territory! :)

Congrats to the Cubs!

Sadly, I feel like baseball has now peaked. I don't know that I'm ever going to witness a more wildly entertaining playoff game than that Game 7 was.

Nice wrapup - and I love this bit

The Chicago Cubs are the champions of baseball.

So can they go back to being the lovable losers now?  I'm already over the cubs hype.
