Chicago Cubs win the 2016 World Series - Skip Bayless offers his congratulations | UNDISPUTED

[@ks111444]

Indians fan here, it sucks that we lost but that was the best game I have ever seen. Congrats Cubs you guys earned this one.

[@katx9125]

very entertaining game

[@jadonnoble8278]

ks111444 it was a great game but the cardinals game 6 in 2011 was better.

[@scottbennici4689]

Jadon Noble cardinals game 6 was better, this game was kinda sloppy. But this one will probably be more memorable.

[@jadonnoble8278]

Scott Bennici unless u are a cardinals fan like me lol. That's the best game I've ever seen and the best World Series I've seen. Still, congrats Cubs.

[@neck2b]

ks111444 Cubs fan here; hoping that Indians get one soon (as long as it isn't against the Cubs). Also hoping that they officially change their name to the Tribe because it sounds badass.

[@H3llboundHero]

I'm not saying this because my favorite team won it. I'm saying this as a baseball fan. The 2016 World Series was the greatest World Series I've ever watched. Just when people thought the Indians had it in the bag, the Cubs come back and win in game 7 in extra innings. But I'll give props to the Indians. They deserved it just as much as the Cubs did. Both teams played with more heart than I've seen in a long time. Truly puts new meaning to "fall classic."

[@John-eb4hd]

2011 was better but hey we all got our own favorites both where solid series

[@dnasty312]

This Red Sox fan agrees with you

[@jasonb9562]

2010 was pretty epic

[@abalakrishnan4152]

Boy am I happy to have started watching baseball in 2015. I was just 10 years old when the Cubs won the WS, and before that, I was little more than a math nerd with asthma. But in 4th grade (when I was 9), my dad and my brother pushed with all their might for me to get into sports, both watching and playing, and I can never thank them enough. 2015 the Blackhawks won. 2016 was obviously the Cubs year, and also the year my asthma subsided more and more with proper medication and I started enjoying soccer rather than feeling forced to play it. What a great year! But now I'm here in 2023 with such a close playoff run ending in somewhat embarrassing feat. I would have hope, since we are in the middle of a rebuild, but last time Chicagoans had hope, the Bears ruined it so idk what to do.

[@jesuscage]

My dad was a Cubs fan his whole life, he passed away Oct 4 2016, literally a month before they won, it's hard to believe my dad went 61 years of his life and never witnessed the Cubs win or even go to the world series...rip Dad

[@jhonpaura8416]

The year of the 3-1 lead

[@GeraltofRizziaa]

Don’t forget 28-3. And 20-7 in college too.

[@lukeschroter2333]

28-3 quarter 3 3 minutes left New England patriots won

[@the_boss2194]

Or better yet how about this: 2016: The Year of Blown Leads (or comebacks) Cleveland Cavaliers overcome a 3-1 NBA finals deficit (first time in NBA history) to take down the 73-9 Golden State Warriors (the winningest team in NBA history along with the first and only unanimous MVP named Steph Curry). In addition to this being the first title in the history of the Cavaliers’ franchise, it also marked the first sports title the city of Cleveland, Ohio won and experienced in over 50 years. Chicago Cubs overcome a 3-1 MLB World Series deficit against the Cleveland Indians to break their infamous 108 year long drought (which was the longest championship drought in American sports history across all four major professional leagues) without a World Series victory New England Patriots overcome a 28-3 NFL Super Bowl deficit late in the 3rd quarter (the greatest Super Bowl, and perhaps NFL, comeback in NFL history) against the Atlanta Falcons to win their fifth title in franchise history, as well as Quarterback Tom Brady’s fifth Super Bowl title (who was also named the game’s MVP). Businessman and television personality, Donald Trump, defeats former US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 General Election despite every mainstream poll predicting a huge landslide victory for Clinton. Thus, it is seen as one of, if not the, biggest upset in American political history (and perhaps even world history). This marked the first time someone without prior military or political experience became the President of the United States, and sent shockwaves around the world as an outsider managed to take down a literal political machine that had held great influence and power for well over 30 years. Let me know if I missed any

Nothing will keep you humble like years of following Chitown sports. I think the liver damage mellows out a person,

[@Emper0rH0rde]

That could very well have gone to the players' heads as well. They might have thought "Well, we've got this. And they've obviously given up. We might as well start planning that parade now," and took their eyes off the ball. If you're leading the series 3-1, you have to go into game 5 looking at it as if you're *trailing* the series 3-1, or else you risk losing momentum.

[@ledflaplin2001]

druno82 humbled? Let’s be honest here I’m only 36, but I’ve seen 12 Chicago championships since I’ve been alive. That’s averages out to one every 3 years since I’ve been alive. We have had it good!!! Way better than previous Chicago fans. 6 Bulls, 3 Blackhawks, 1 Bears, 1 White Sox, 1 Cubs.

[@Trx-ep7rg]

I don't care if my cubbies made a ton of mistakes to make a convincing, 6-1 victory, turn into a 8-7 extra inning close call, but it was enough, they did it, they won it all, best cubs team that the current world population got a chance to witness (for 1906, 1907, 1908 teams, nobody that is alive got a chance to see them play). What a season, what a team, what a run. Best team in baseball from opening day to game 7 of the world series.

[@TheBrooklynbodine]

Probably the oldest person alive in the US was 114 in 2016. If so, that would've made them 6 the last time the Cubs won it all before 2016. Probably now (5-18-22), there aren't more than 10 people living in the US that were alive in 1908.

[@themilwaukeebrewerswillnev7545]

Cubs are in the midst of a 90's braves type of run. They, like those braves, may not win another title. They might win 5. It's a crapshoot once the playoffs start. Last year the Cubs had plenty of injuries and many regulars had terrible years at the plate. They still won the central easily and got past a better WAS team in the NLDS. They will not miss the postseason for years unless a team plane crashes and the team dies or something

[@ericktippett4158]

I agree with the critique here as Joe Madden who is a fine motivational leader needs to review his tendency to be a Casey Stengel without those kind of intuitive skills in handling pitchers just yet. After observing this team since the early fifties the kinds of challenges they overcame each indicated a test of what has plagued this team for years, the inability to defiantly obliterate error under extreme pressure, something no Cubs team ever seemed to have been capable of handling in such a masterful way until this team so wonderfully constructed and matched made its appearance in this most thrilling of world series. They truly more than compensated for decades of maddening pain and frustration. My hearty congratulations to this fine 'World Class' organization and let this be the start of an entirely different image for them for years to come! edt Chicago, Illinois
