Snippy is so conflicted here.

Always a phan of real Major League Baseball. You know, the kind of real baseball where the pitcher can help his cause with a bat early in the game. Advantage: Cubs

However, the Cleveland Native Americans are Snippy's favorite major Minor League team. You know, where they let the pitcher pussy out. Advantage: Native Americans


Snippy is leaning towards the Native Americans.

This is tough for me. My Grandfather and father were avid fans, and never had the pleasure of a Series win. The Indians are about in the same boat, so I have much empathy for them. I don't have the desire to talk smack about them...

The Krink always has to adjust to post season baseball without the M's and so you go
into the World Serious and it only takes game one to find out who your soul is rooting for.
I want the Cubs to get off one of the biggest "snides" of all time and yet I know this Cleveland
team pretty well and can see them ruin the Cubs hopes but a game 2 where the Cubs explode
for a dominating win to make this serious 1-1 going back to Wrigley for 3-games could get my
soul going for the Cubs. Its a win-win for me who ever prevails.

Just think of all those cheep souvineers and trinkets, tshirts, caps and whathave you emblazoned with Indians or Cubs as 2016 world series champions sitting in containers and store storerooms.

When ya buy 1 yer actually paying for 2 cause they haffta throw out the other one showing the losing teams logo.

All this stuff came from China, so guess how many months ago that was. How many contenders were around then? How much stuff is going to the dump?

Corse, there are some idiots who bet the farm and order everything marked as thier favorite team...if they lose the stuff is worthless.

I remember going to Three Rivers Stadium the year the Chargers beat the Steelers in the AFC Championship game. Before the game hawwkers in the parking lot were selling Steeler AFC Championship hats and Tshirts etc. I remember walking out watching a lot of sore losers cussing the Steelers and throwing the Shirts and hats away.

If you have never been to Wrigley you are missing something. You walk in there, and it just smells of baseball.

 Yes it is....although I have not been there since the temple was defiled by adding lights.

 

As a native of the Buckeyeland, having grown up midway between tu major league teams, remembering listening to Waite Hoyt broadcasting the Reds games for Burger Beer, while also following the Tribe, reading about the exploits of Rapid Robert, Herb Score before he got hit in the face, Rocky Calavito, the hapless years that followed, there's no way to support that other team, they're always going to have that big market, Cy doesn't care if they don't come back until 2108. Go, Native Americans.
