Yes they did. 

I was complaining to my brother that it killed me that the cubs lost their lead in the 8th and then the rain delay.  He said the rain was the tears of Cubs fans passed, falling from Heaven to give the cubbies a little rest before the big inning  Holy Cow!

My last beer before passing out was a toast to the Greatest of all today's Cubs, Theo.

Just heard that Lebron and Wade had a bet.  Wade won and Lebron has to wear a full Cubs uniform to the next Bulls vs Cavs game, I assume in Chicago.  LOL

Pro baseball is about as exciting to watch as golf or bowling.

Yeah, don't care for it myself but did watch this series some. Caught most of the last game, heck just for history's sake! Cubs finally break the curse and send the goat off to St.Louis...

Baseball got a massive boost with that game.  Everyone stood for the anthem. Everyone played hard. It was just baseball, nothing else.  James Earl Jones's character in field of dreams has a great line:
"baseball is timeless".  Slow as molasses? Yes.  Hard to really keep score? Yes. Pure Americana? Nothing but.
