Re: BRING ON THE DODGERS!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting series. Will the Cubs advance to a second straight World Series (it would be only the second time in their history that the Cubs would have played in back to back WS, the first time, they actually went to three in a row, from 1906-1908 (lost to the White Sox in '06, then beat Detroit in '07 and '08)).

Or will the Dodgers reach their first WS since 1988, a 29-year drought exceeded by only 5 MLB teams (two of which have never been to the WS)

Longest World Series droughts:

Montreal Expos/Washington Nationals: Never been, started play in 1969 (48 years)
Seattle Mariners: Never been, started play in 1977 (40 years)
Pittsburgh Pirates: 1979 (defeated Baltimore) (38 years)
Milwaukee Brewers: 1982 (lost to St. Louis) (35 years)
Baltimore Orioles: 1983 (defeated Philadelphia) 34 years
L. A. Wimps Dodgers: 1988 (defeated Oakland) (29 years)


And all 4 teams that didn't exist in 1988 (Florida/Miami Marlins, Colorado Rockies, Arizona Diamondbacks, Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays) have all been to the Series, with Florida going twice.
