Some people are unwilling or unable to just embrace good news or anything that makes other people happy. Sad isn't?

We are in Northeastern Pennsylvania and we cared about the Cubs!! I also know tons of sports fans who cheer for other cities' teams for numerous reasons.

The Phillies franchise is so lame, that the Cubs (who went 108 years between titles), now have more titles than they do (3-2). And the Indians (68 year drought), have just as many (2).
The Marlins (only 24 seasons in existence), also have as many as the Phillies (2).
Lets hear it for the LOSERS!! Cubs, Eagles, Phillies and Indians!!! I love the underdogs!

Jesus. Too early for my eyes to start watering. That's a great commercial. Baseball - the great equalizer.

The Cubs thread in the Baseball forum is filled with people from all over the nation, extending their good wishes to the Cubs organization, players and fans.

Game 7 had more than 40 million viewers - the most watched baseball game in 25 years. To say nobody cares outside of Chicago and Cleveland indicates a complete lack of knowledge about the popularity of sports in this country.
