Well now maybe since the cubs have lost, Economist and Wall Street will figure out that the world IS NOT coming to some kind of ungodly end, and everything will go back to being the way it was.
...look a the bright side though. North Siders acn drink as much as they want allllll night long

They just got outplayed. LA had better pitching, defense, hitting, etc. Oh well. I am anxious to see how they will rebound next year and what moves they will make.
Keep this in mind... the Cubs the won the division 2 years in a row which is a great accomplishment. Even with a good team, sometimes it takes time to win a World Series. Remember how dominant the Braves were during the 90s? They only won a World Series one time (if I am not mistaken).
As a Chicago fan, I will be rooting for the White Sox. But they don't have the team like they did in '05. I hope that they can surprise us all!

Devil Rays!!!!! I'm a cubs fan first and all my life, but ever since the d-rays entered in the mid-90s, i've been a fan. Glad to see them doing good and making the post season. I hope they sweep the sox.

I am a cubs fan and always will be. However maybe I should becoma a fan of the pirates, because at least they suck all year and not just when it really matters.

It seems like our economy is more stable than how the Cubs play. I'll also be a die hard Cubs fan for life, but I dont know how many more heart breaks I can take.
I'm only 19 and I have a guy feeling I'll never see a championship on the north side.

The Cubs won the division 2 years in a row and had 8 players in the All Star game this year. Sounds pretty good to me. As I stated before... the Braves of the 90s only won the World Series once during their reign. Now the Cubs have gotten the right combination... it's just a matter of time before they win it all. 
Granted... the Cubs lost 3 games in a row against LA. They got cold at the wrong time.
