As I mentioned in the "Where were YOU?" thread, Mets fans flocked to the exits in the top of the tenth during Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. But that was after the Sox scored in the 10th right? People at Wrigley started leaving in the 7th!

Fman99 wrote: Cubs fans just POURING out of Wrigley. Good. That really surprises me. Just 3 runs down in an NLCS game and you give up? Stunning. I thought Cubs fans were diehards. I don't feel bad for them anymore.

I cut Schwarber a little slack since I found out he played his college ball at Indiana U.

Game 5 (if necessary).

People are leaving? Horrible.

Turf came up. Isn't that a ground rule single in Wrigley.....?

HA! Take a seat Denorfia!!!!!

Awesome, quick inning! The plan is coming together!

Lets go deGrom!! deMoralize them!

Kid pitching against Mets tonight is a Dartmouth grad.

You do not have to object, it has nothing to do with whatever may or may not be happening. I was reminded of something that happened about 30 years ago for whatever reason - Again - It HAS NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with anything presently occuring.

Wow. Other than Grimm and Monk, those are some depressing tales. I guess by contrast its better than I have no real recollection.

I was reminded in another thread that the last time the Mets won the whole ball o' wax I was in college. I can tell you where I was and who I was with for Game 6. My apartment, with 6 Red Sox fans. It was awesome. They were going crazy and I was moping on the end of the couch. By the time it was over I was jumping up and down and was the only one remaining in my living room. For some reason though I've had no specific recollection of Game 7. I knew I was on campus at Syracuse U. but I always struggled as to whether I was in my apartment or at a bar or in my fraternity house. So last week I was at Game 3 of the NLDS with a friend of mine that I graduated with. He has been in the sportsmedia biz since then and reminded me that both he and I were at Mike Tirico's off-campus apartment. It sort of made sense - I do remember watching games at the apartment (I knew Tirico but it was more like he was my friend's friend) late that season but again, not that one in particular. So its a good story but you can really beat it just by remembering your own whereabouts. So...?

I'm with Lefty. When Beltran struck out in 2006 my then 9 year-old ran upstairs to bed crying. My now 18 year old college freshman has a Chicago native Cubs fan roommate that he keeps telling me he feels sorry for.

I'm rooting for the Royals and an artificial turf-free World Series.

Where's Tom Lasorda when you need him? Pete Guerrero, Freddie Valenzuela, etc.
