Cubs - Red Sox World Series - Who would you root for?

[NewHampster]

I'm a die hard sox fan and I'd have a hard time rooting against the Cubs. I'd love to see the series but It would be sad that one team, the Cubs, would have to lose.

Two choices only.

[Zomby Woof]

1. The CUBBIES!

But I expect embittered Sox fans will be checking in soon. :P

[Catshrink]

2. I agree with the Zomby-Oracle

[NewHampster]

3. SI Jinx SI Jinx

a hex is now upon the Cubs

[Zomby Woof]

6. there is no such thing

That is one of the biggest canards ever - and superstitious to boot.

Being on the cover of SI didn't hurt Joe Montana, Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali (most covers ever), Terry Bradshaw, Sonja Henning, and on and on.

Most people on the cover of SI have successful overall careers, and people only remember the bad stuff to pump up the myth of the jinx.

[Catshrink]

8. Oh you silly goat....

I sure hope you're right, Zomby!

[Zomby Woof]

12. I am ALWAYS fucking right!!!

Ask your sister. ;-)

[Catshrink]

19. I wish I could respond....

but Skinner said no sex threads...

[SiobhanClancy]

5. Embittered??

Not me...just hopeful:)

[stopbush]

4. My first reaction would be to seriously investigate fundy

Xtian groups, maybe even join one. Your WS scenario would portend that the end of the world was certainly at hand. In fact, if the BoSox are involved, we can pretty much rest assured that the end of the world would happen in Game 6, 2 outs with the BoSox leading 5-3 and up 3 games to 2 (1986, anyone?).

World ends then and there - Cubs & BoSox again denied a WS win, but this time, for all eternity.

[Zomby Woof]

7. they played in 1918

And World War 1 ended a month later. I would say that this year, Chimpy will lose a few weeks later.

[Zomby Woof]

9. Mariners and Cubs

I will be torn, but will root for the Mariners. Ichiro and Edgar, Boonie and Moyer! Woohoo!

[OneBlueSky]

10. I'd root for the Sox, only because I used to live in New England . . .

and followed them for 15 years . . . have a lot of friends up there who deserve to see the Sox win it before they die . . . but I wouldn't be upset if the Cubbies won . . . either way, there would be some really happy fans . . .

but here's my own personal World Series fantasy . . . Yankees vs. Houston Astros . . . Astros wins the Series 4 games to 3 . . . Clemens gets two of the Houston wins, Pettitte gets the other two . . . they share the MVP . . . George Steinbrenner jumps off the Brooklyn Bridge . . . :)

[NewHampster]

11. hee hee

never happen. George would throw Joe T. off the bridge instead.

[Zomby Woof]

13. GREAT avatar!

:D

[NewHampster]

21. thanks

I like it myself.

[x-g.o.p.er]

14. Nice!!!

I'm a Twins fan, but that scenario would be awesome. Maybe A-Rod could mess up a groundball in the 9th to allow the winning run to score, too. Georgie's head would explode!!

[jobycom]

17. A-Rod, the rich man's Griffey

So much talent, so little team skill.

[mobuto]

15. They should both lose!

[jobycom]

16. I'd root for another lockout and Series cancelling strike

It just wouldn't be baseball without the annual whining of these poor teams.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

18. Red Sox

But I think the world will end first. x(

[Sandpiper]

20. Cubs

Sox fans are too whiny and bitter.

[sniffa]

22. YANKEES SUCK

i'm an obnoxious red sox fan.

[NewHampster]

24. And I'm a Sox Fan who finds that cheer boring

Boring, really dumb, childish and embarrassing for the Sox and all their fans.

[sniffa]

25. i'm a cLassy guy

so i Love it. it's more my stubborness than anything.

pLease don't teLL me you were upset when pedro pLopped zimmer onto the fieLd?

[NewHampster]

27. Zimmer is an old windbag

But that cheer only says something about those saying it.

[Endangered Specie]

23. Theyd manage to find someway to both lose

[Anaxamander]

26. The Braves (nt)

[NewHampster]

28. take this

[NewHampster]

29. take this

Dang mouse dupe again. I wish there was a delete button.

[Catshrink]

30. and this:

[Donkeyboy75]

31. The End would be nigh

if these two teams advanced to the WS. I am convinced that one of these teams winning the World Series would signal the end of times.

[NewHampster]

34. You might be right

:kick:

[montana_hazeleyes]

32. I'd have to go with the Cubs.

They not only have the goat jinx but now the Dusty Baker big game jinx. (I love Dusty,But it's true).

[Beer Snob-50]

33. This....is....the....year

Martinez, Schilling 20 wins!!!

[NewHampster]

35. up there you bum

:kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

[bubblesby2002]

36. I'm a Boston Rob and a Bruins fan and a Red Sox fan

nt

[NewHampster]

40. Boston Rob is gonna get voted off by his chicky

she's conning him all the way to the finish line

[bubblesby2002]

45. You know I think you're right.

I think Boston Rob is gone next week. As long as Rupert is still on though I'll be happy. I'd like to see Tom gone, he kind of creeps me out.

[Champ]

37. Rockies!!!!!!

Probaly out of those 2 the Cubs, they had a much longer wait but atleast you have 1! The Rockies have yet to even appear in the world series.

[absyntheNsugar]

38. The Yankees!

HA! I knew that would daw ire!

Seriously, I HATE the Yankees.

I'd be Cubs all the way tho....

[NewHampster]

39. ahhh shadup

:nuke:

[MrSlayer]

41. Since we'll never be in this position it doesn't matter.

But for the sake of argument I'd go Cubs. The Red Sox deserve their curse.

[NewHampster]

47. Curses

Curses upon all unbelievers.

The Red Sox shall have their day in the sun. Too bad Yaz, Pudge, Dewey and all the rest will probably be dead by then.

[arewethereyet]

42. its not the Braves so who cares ?

but if you insist, Cubs since they are at least National League and still play real baseball.

[DEM FAN]

43. Of Course My Red SAWX.

:D

[Redleg]

44. Gotta go with the National League Cubs.

I would love to see this matchup. Maybe this year!

[JaySherman]

46. Cubs all the way.

Sorry. I'm a Yankees fan so I hate the Sox. But I would root for them in the ALCS (as long as they aren't playing the Yanks) because a Cubs-Sox series would be awesome!

[NewHampster]

48. bump

and a kick before I head to the DU party in Cambridgeshire

:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

[LynneSin]

49. Yes, for me hopefully to have lost that last 30 lbs

Since I still have that running bet with Matcom that if the Cubs or Red Sox win the world series that I'll post my naked ass on DU

[NewHampster]

50. woo hoo

[HuckleB]

51. Cubbies!

I want the Sox to do it, someday, too. Someday soon. But not with idiots like Schilling and Pedro.

[Reverend_Smitty]

52. Sox!

As a rabid anti-Yankee, (Mets fan) I would root for any team that puts a hurting on that axis of evil!

[bigwillq]

53. I would have to go for the Cubs being

that I am a Yankees fan.
