10 Times We Fell In Love With The Chicago Cubs
Sports Mockery

If you have been living under a rock, the Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years and people are pumped. Considering it has been so long since they've won the World Series, it was hard not to root for the ultimate underdogs. When they finally clinched the title, coming back form a 3-1 start to the series, it easy to fall a little bit in love with the Cubs. Here are 10 times that we all started to fall in love with the Chicago Cubs:

1. The bromance between Anthony Rizzo an Kris Bryant.

2. 39-year-old player David Ross (nicknamed Grandpa), the Cubs' oldest player, made history when he hit a home run and won the World Series game in the final game of his career.


3. Anthony Rizzo gets emotional while making a speech about David Ross at the Cubs parade in Chicago following their victory.

4. Elderly Cubs fans celebrate a long awaited victory.

5. Everyone fell in love with third-baseman Kris Bryant because, well, look at him. (They have even made jerseys sporting his number and the name "Cutie").


6. The "Go Cubs Go" song became catchier than ever and celebrities doing their own renditions made it even more like-able.

7. Bill Murray's unending support and passion for the team somehow made it something you wanted to root for more than ever.

8. The Saturday following the team's win, Dexter Fowler, Anthony Rizzo and David Ross guest starred on Saturday Night Live proving that they not only play great baseball, but also have amazing senses of humor.

9. Not only did the Cub's win make us love the team, but it was also the Cub's loyal fans who reminded us how sports can bring people together and why a Cub's victory was one we should celebrate.

10. The fact that a Cubs win was witnessing a moment in history. After a 108 year championship drought, watching Kris Bryant field that last out was truly witnessing something that would be marked in the books for years to come.


Some may call falling in love with the Cubs "hopping on the bandwagon," but what's so wrong about joining in on something that brings so much celebration to so many people? So thanks Cubs. Thanks for bringing home the W.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
