I agree with Cubs in 6 and voted. DSU, you need to vote! (unless you were the guy who said Cubs in 5)

Hey, Russian, will your pal Putin cause Wikileaks to reveal embarrassing e-mails from Andrew Miller?

So many times over the years we see a vaunted baseball machine enter the World Series and a huge favorite, only to melt into the sunset after another fall classic.

I went with the Cubbies in 5 because I think they'll win and I'm really pulling for a WS clincher at Wrigley. I mean, it could be another 108 years before they get another shot at this, might as well do it right.

Is that Injun half Joo? What a beak!

Thought they had changed it to the Cleveland Fighting Hawks.

Petition to replace Joe Buck with Bob Uecker for the WS.

If you couldn’t tell from all the noise coming from the south last night, the Chicago Cubs are headed to the World Series—their first trip in 71 years. On Tuesday, October 25, the unlikely Cubs will take on the almost-as-unlikely Cleveland Indians in Game 1. Calling that game will be former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz, and everybody’s second-favorite Buck sportscaster, Joe Buck. But wouldn’t it be great if Buck—best known to Wisconsinites as the spottily bearded Goofus to Troy Aikman’s Gallant—were replaced by Milwaukee’s own Bob Uecker? Yes, yes it would, and now there’s a petition for that.

Over at trusty ol’ Change.org, “Replace Joe Buck with Bob Uecker for World Series broadcasts” is asking both the Fox Broadcasting Company and Major League Baseball to swap out the love-him-or-hate-him Buck with the man who once portrayed fictional Indians announcer Harry Doyle, and who once stumbled into a decidedly non-fictional furry convention. “The Cleveland Indians are in the World Series,” reads the petition. “Bob Uecker is Bob Uecker—a national treasure. And his portrayal of an Indians broadcaster in the movie Major League is all-time great. Replacing Joe Buck with Uecker would put one of the truly great entertainers in the game on its biggest stage.” Who can argue with that?

As of Sunday morning, the petition has more than 3,000 supporters. That’s roughly half the people who bothered to sign the “Remove Paris Hilton from the Summerfest lineup” petition back in 2015, and roughly 3,000 more people who signed the accompanying “Book Paris Hilton at Summerfest EVERY YEAR until the Apocolypse [sic]” petition. Go Brewers.

UPDATE: As of Monday morning, the number of supporters has jumped to more than 16,000.

Maybe he hates yuppie scum. That's why I hope Cleveland wins. I've been to Wrigley, and while there is a small smattering of hardcore fans, most are there to hit the bars across the street and drink Michelob Ultra, show up in the second inning, take 200 selfies, leave after the seventh, then go get a gluten/GMO free meal somewhere.

Plus, why would you want to ruin a 108 year streak? Some stuff is cool to perpetuate. The Curse of the Bambino is now ash in the scrap heap of history. The Red Sox were quaint as lovable losers and now they're just another perennial colossal payroll like the Yankees.

If the Cubs win, they're stars for a week and then nobody ever gives a care about them anymore outside Chicago.

Just heard the sound of some one hitting the nail on the head.

The Red Sox curse was fun. Once they won, nobody cared about the Sox outside of NE. I think if the Cubs win, they will lose their identity. Keeping the 1908 going is good for baseball IMO.

Like you read my mind.
