nah....they learned their lesson in 1929 against the philly a's

yeah if only they could have held on to games 4 and 5 of that series they would have been up 3-2 going back to wrigley and this 95 year drought might only be a 74 year drought...

but they won tonight and so did the sox.. i feel a little better about the cubs right now than the sox.. im not really too confident with just one win over the yankees.. if they can go up 2-0 going back to fenway i might feel a little better about it

Is it just me or can anyone else not believe the neverending sport has just started again today....hockey. Ugh.

sure it has a long season, but hockey is cool.. but if they dont sign a new collective bargaining agreement by next september, you wont have to worry about hockey starting up next season

I like hockey, but the whole sport needs a workover. 70% of the teams make it into the playoffs after an incredibly long and often dull season. I think hockey should be 16 games, and the NFL around 100. :yes:

Same here, but at the same time i'm EXCITED that the cubs and sox have WON games. I think it gives them both a bit more momentum to go for wins in the other games. Also...I just get excited when I think of a cubs-sox series.

Now BOOG...a 100 game football season???? Talk about ICK! You move to Cincinnati and you'll soon hate it. Anyway...football starts at like the end of August? And it goes through the end of January? That's 5 months to play 16 games! What a waste!

As for hockey, I don't think the season is NEAR as long as basketball's is. I'd be happy if basketball disappeared.

me too.. a cubs-sox series is something ive dreamed about since i first starting watching baseball when i was like 3.. 2 magnificent classic ballparks, 2 sets of loyal, devoted, and knowledgable fans, 2 teams with nearly century long world series droughts, if not for the DH, it would be a baseball purist's dream come true

You are right on every count. Perfect (Y)

*sigh*

:argh:

I think the entire country will fall in love with baseball even more with a Chicago Cubs vs. Boston Red Sox World Series.

yah...it would be a great way to bring it out of the hole it's been in and bring the fans back

yep.. the ratings are already up 21% so far, just imagine if they both made the series

The ratings would go sky high and hell would freeze over because one of them would HAVE to win. I think I'd die of happiness.

only one downside to it.. one of them would have to lose.. again.. and then they would be all alone.. the cubs and red sox have always kinda fed off eachother.. the white sox havent won it since 1917 and the indians havent since 1948, but those teams just dont have the same kind of fans and arent as easy to love as the cubs and sox

Not one of them would have to lose again, the Cubs would have to lose again. The NLs got little to no chance in this World Series.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
