Never in a regular season game

Didn't get to see many games this year. Though did get to see the Stro's and Cards late last year. Was kind of wierd, I was sitting outside the stadium on the rooftop looking through the glass at the game. The sound of the crowd still came though, and the silence like when Pujos blasted a homer. It was like watching him hit in a minor league stadium the ball wasn't even close to staying in the park. \n\nRefreshments were a two minute walk away, had the ledge to use for a table and tables all around. Nice breeze blowing so it wasn't real hot. Ballpark peanuts. Somehow they never taste the same anywhere you go except a ball park. \n\nThough I think my favorite game was the first time I saw Randy Johnson pitch. It was like he was handing the ball to the catcher he's so tall. The ball was in his hand one second, the next it was banging into the catchers mit, the batter looking as confused as me as to where the ball went :) Saw that game in the Astrodome. \n\nRemember as a kid watching the O's play in Baltimore. Was the first reguler season major league game I'd seen live. I'd seen exibition games, once saw Paul Molitor make an awesome leaping catch as a second basemen for the Brewers against the Dodgers in an exibition game. In that game there were at least 4 future hall of famers playing. Yount and Molitor were the two who really stuck out. Sutton didn't pitch that game but he was there, so were a couple others.

The last time the Cubs were in the Series [1945], they got a Game 1 shutout by starter Hank Borowy.  They also got a one-hit shutout from Claude Passeau in game 3.  But they failed to close out the Tigers in nine innings of game 6 after leading 7-3 in the eighth inning.  They had to use Borowy for the final 4 innings, and won the game in the bottom of the 12th.  Borowy had also gone into the 6th inning as the game 5 starter.  In game 7 Borowy started on one day rest and was ineffective.  Wasted/mismanaged, whatever you call it, they never recovered from a Tiger 5-run first inning, finally lost 9-3.  This was their 5th Series in about 18 years, so Cubs fans had every right to expect they'd be back in it in the near future.  Right!!

The Cubs had many names (including Chicago White Stockings). The team was first called the Cubs in 1902 and officially adopted the name in 1907. All of those years the team was playing at the West Side Grounds, where they played from 1893-1915.

They have been to the World Series once. They lost to the Cardinals in seven games in 1982.

For the people who go to Cub games, and watch and follow the Cubs. "Welcome to the friendly confines" can be read over either dugout. Our fans may have NEVER seen a championship(who has it was in 1908), and the bleachers are mostly drunk, but our fans are 1st class. As long as your not wearing a Sox, Cardinals, or Astros Jersey you should be able to fully  enjoy the game. Congrats on your engament, and I hope you continue to show support for the Cubs, and Wrigley.

How is the Cardinal-Cub rivalry overrated?  The two have been rivals for eons, been in the same division since both were founded (both were in the NL East after 1969 and moved to the Central together when each league went to three divisions), and have played each other over 2000 times (Cubs led the rivalry at the end of last year 1037-998).\n\nHow do you say that a team that only came into existence in 1962 compares with that?

the one I keep hearing about is the Chicago Cubs curse.  its about how a billy goat wasn't allowed in the stadium back in the 1900's and since then the cubs haven't been in the world series

The Cubs did win the World Series a couple of times, though the people who remember the event are becoming as scarce as survivors of the Titanic.  (The Cubs last won it in 1908, when Teddy Roosevelt was president.)\n\nAs for a single game, on May 26, 1964 the Mets beat the Cubs 19-1.\n\nStatistically, I do not know what was the Cubs' worst season ever, but their most humiliating season had to be 1966, when they became the first team to ever finish behind the Mets; the Cubs were tenth and dead last that year.  People joked that Leo Durocher, the Cubs' manager, had become a nice guy.\n\n(There were only seven years when a National League team could finish in tenth place, 1962 through 1968.  In that stretch the Mets finished last five times, the Cubs once and the Astros once.  The Mets finished ninth in the two years they didn't finish tenth.  And then they won the World Series.)

Fenway Park and Wrigley are the two old-school parks still in operation.  But Fenway is older by a couple of years.\n\nFenway park opened April 20, 1912 as specified on the home page: http://www.fenwaypark.com\n\nWrigley was opened on April 23, 1914 as stated on the Cubs website: http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/chc/ballpark/index.jsp\n\nOf course, the tough question is which one will stay open longer???  We won't have an answer to that one for a while...\n\n(Oh, and they played in the old polo fields in back bay before Fenway...And the Boston Braves played in BU's field on Babcock St)\n\n(Just read on fenway park.com that the polo fields were called "Huntington Grounds")

I'm not really a fan of baseball, but I take it i'll become one soon. I'm assuming you're a fan... if so, if you've ever been to see a game in St. Louis and looked around the area, or if you live around here, you'd understand how insanely dedicated everyone is to that team. You hear about the Cardinals on the news over and over, see their merchandise EVERYWHERE. If you're a Cubs fan, you'll get hassled around here. It's crazy, i've never been ANYWHERE where a team was so huge in the area. I live in Illinois, Fairview Heights. It's about 15 minutes away from St. Louis. I might go see a ball game sometime to see what i've been missing out on. I've never liked watching on television because it bored me. Everyone says that seeing it live is MUCH different and a lot more exciting. Around here it's basically a crisis if Pujols or someone else important on the team gets injured.

That would be Harry Chiti and Cleveland.  It also happened to Dickie Noles on the Cubs in 1987.

Being a Cubs fan is not that hard. I love the Cubs. It is not about winning, I love the Cubs, my dad was a Cub fan, he would let me skip school to go to Wrigley and I do that now for my kids. There is more to being a Cub fan than winning, I am just happy when we score, there is something about the Cubs, Wrigley Field, Wrigleyville, everyone is always friendly, No matter what the score or how the season is going true Cubs fans are happy and let nasty comments slide off us still supporting our Northside boys of summer. I grew up watching the Cubs, and they inspired me to play softball. There is no other park like Wrigley(well I have heard Fenway is comparable but have not made it there yet soon i hope though) The Bleacher Bums, the hot dogs, the Beer, I do miss Harry singing and Marla the ball girl I so wanted to be her when I was younger. It has been 34 years and I have and always will stick by my Cubs. No matter what they play hard and are good to their fans! Wrigley is always a sell out win or lose. Anyone that knows me knows I am a Cubs fan, I wear my believe bracelet all year round I truly do believe. I do not believe in the goat curse or blame Bartman, it took my Red Sox  86 years. I have hope and faith that they will win a series in my lifetime, but if not I do not care, I would never foresake my Cubs. I will bleed Cubbie blue til the day I die. \n\nI have tickets to one of the mets-cubs games July15, I must say congrats your loyalty is paying off this year so if my Cubbies can't get to the show this year I hope your Mets do, I have to give them props for a good season, (and I have to admit I did kinda idolize Gary Carter, along with Jody Davis and Keith Moreland in the 80's I am a catcher!!\nI am still waiting for season tickets been waiting for 4 years so far, even before the 2003 season.\n\n(this is a side note to mr drunk bomber! You have no clue what being a fan is, I am there for the Cubs, I may not agree with the GM and yes there are things that could be done, but no matter what the Cubs players do not give up and always play hard for us, what more could any fan want. A person jumping on a bandwagon of a winning team is not a fan, a true fan sticks with the team through thick and thin. You are correct about one thing Wrigley field is the best, there are no fights, everyone is friendly no matter who you are cheering for, there may be an occaisonal razz but it is all in fun No matter if we are having a winning season or one like we are having now Wrigley Field is always a sell out!!! Again I say I am a PROUD CUB FAN!!!!!!!) J-Far I apologize for this but I had to defend my Cubs and Comrads!
