I haven't stopped smiling since the game ended.

I am so happy that the Cubs are World Series Champions.

It's a shame to retire this guy, but it's time.

I didn't want to buy one during the playoffs because I'm superstitious and didn't want to jinx anything.

So, since they can give them to anyone they want, which old Cubs are sure to get World Series rings?

Obviously Billy Williams and Ryne Sandberg will be getting them. Probably Kerry Wood. Anyone else?

For shits and giggles, I stopped by the Dick's Sporting Goods in Niles because I was close and dispatch put me on standby for 15-20 minutes. There was a huge line just to get in and it didn't even move for the 10 minutes I watched it before I got called back to work.

I was just there. Line took about 30 mins to get in but I didn't buy anything since everything was in L or XL. Just ordered stuff online.

Yeah I already ordered a fitted hat with the world champion patch, one of the locker room shirts and a framed pennant from mlb.com. But I think I'm going to get another world champion hat. That way I can have one hat to wear and one hat to sit forever in pristine condition.

You can buy them from the Tribune directly for $10 but they're absolutely slammed right now and I think they've said the wait could be 2-3 weeks after you order. (EDIT: 15-20 business days.)

That one is great but I swear I saw a shot of him saying "Oh my God!"

Maybe it was in a replay or recap.

I remember it being a fairly tight shot of his head and shoulders with his face towards the camera.

I love Heyward, so goddamn much. Think I might buy a Jersey gotta support a black man(since Dex is probably gone :smith:)

It's to bad the Heyward and Dex contracts can't be switched.

It's also to bad that the Cubs have a plethora of outfielders right now which means we won't throw a truckload of money at Fowler when he really deserves it.

You go, we go Dex.

So is it weird that I have basically no desire to see the parade/go to the rally?

I mean I've been a Cubs fan essentially since I was born 40+ years ago. I can still remember 84 and particularly 89. And while I didn't pay attention to the Cubs in the late 00s/early 10s, they will always be my team.

I'm super happy for myself, my dad and of course the team that they won it all. However, it makes no sense to me to go stand around on the street for however long just to watch the team take a few minutes to drive past. I get that a lot of it is probably just an 'I was there' phenomenon but I still think it's a little silly.

There are specially marked bottles. I've heard back from them on the three I've used, and it's saved me about $130 total so far.

How long did it take you to hear back from them? I texted yesterday and sent a picture at the same time, but I haven't heard back from them. So I texted again and sent a different picture of the same UPC after the automated response this morning, but I still haven't heard anything back from them.

I think they might be getting slammed now, or some delay, as the one I sent this morning hasn't gotten a response yet to the picture itself yet. Did you get an initial response back after just texting "football" to it?

Yeah, when I first did it, I sent football and the picture at the same time. There was an immediate automatic response about sending the picture before my picture went through. Then I sent another picture about an hour later.

Then since I didn't hear anything this morning, I went ahead and sent football again and then another picture of the same code. That was like 12 hours ago and still nothing.

Sorry for the low-content phone post, but all you Cubs fans should check out the Times crossword today. It's Cubs-themed and it's only a Tuesday puzzle, so it's easy as hell even for people who rarely do puzzles.

But it's behind a paywall :(

Edit - wait, you probably meant the sun times. When I hear times and crossword I immediately think of the NY Times.
