It will all fade as soon as he remembers that the Super-League is still a thing that exists, but still, that memory may warm his heart forever

If the Cubs win this game, I will celebrate with a Super-Lottery of unbelievable proportions.

With the Cubs not only having won that game, Game 6 of the NLCS, but the whole World Series, I'd like to know just how big this Super-Lottery is going to be. How extraordinary are the prizes, and/or how punishing will the punishments be? Don't let us down like Aroldis Chapman did for you!

edit: Oh, and is that 'Make Smasher happy' contest going to be voided, as it would be impossible to make you happier than you are right now?

Seriously. gently caress Cleveland. Racist logo, poo poo fans who didn't give a rat's rear end about the team until the World Series, and a lovely city full of disease and food poisoning. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving poo poo hole.

Congrats, Smasher. Your Cubs fought hard for this.

I'm pretty sure that, with the prospect of hindsight, that by trading away all of the 2003 Cubs prospects, nothing of value was lost.

Stadium:

It was the moment he'd dreaded, the end of all things. What was emerging now was something Man Was Not Meant To Know. It transcended ordinary reality, too exquisite, too perfect. To gaze upon it was to fall to madness, for Mortal Man cannot comprehend the truly infinite. It was the raw essence of BALLPARK, refined into a form so pure that it shattered the mind. It was... irrelevant, because the series is probably being played on neutral ground. Ignore this!
