The Major League Baseball Thread: Did SI Swipe The 2025 Sports Almanac?
Wah:
why cubs? that's not very intimidating... why not bears?
Khushrenada:
Because Chicago Bears had already been taken by the NFL and so they wanted a name to reference that team and since they were the newer team, they took the name Cubs to show their youth and affiliation to Chicago. ;)
Plus, cubs are cute. Don't you want to take a little bear cub and squeeze him tight with all that soft fur and play with it as it explores the world with its youthful curiosity?
Wah:
As it ripped your face off? sure!

I'm rooting for Washington to come back and win this game against Los Angeles because I want the AL team to be cheered by the casuals in the World Series. That seems... weird.

Not sure what you meant by casuals cheering but it is not to be. The Brooklyn LA Dodgers are on to the next round. Really looking forward to both championship series this year.
