Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
It was fun tonight to see the Iowa Cubs eliminate the Cardinals from wild card contention.
The Cubs are coming together at the right time. They currently lack an "ace" on their staff, but they do have four solid guys who can win big games. (They also lacked a standout ace last year but the overall performance and consistency of all of the starters was better than this year). The bullpen depth is also a concern but with so many days off in the playoffs they can hopefully stick with their top 3-4 relievers who have been pretty good. The offense has been pretty consistently good lately.
It will be interesting. Nice that we're playing with house money now. We broke the curse, we're not going in as the favorite, we're in a no-lose situation. (I'm going to try to keep telling myself that through the playoffs).
P.S. I will not be shocked at all if Arizona takes out the Dodgers.
P.P.S. This thing is Cleveland's to lose, but Houston also looks very tough if Keuchel is right.
October!
Red Sox vs Astros. Gotta go for the Astros. They just had a big hurricane, they have Justin Verlander, and the Red Sox have been the Yankees for about a decade.
New York vs Cleveland. I'll be pulling for the Yankees for the first time ever. Can't have a division rival win, and the Yankees aren't the Yankees anymore. The Red Sox are.
Cubs vs Nats. Go Nats. The Cubs had their turn. Time for DC to have a sports moment.
DBacks vs Dodgers. Go LA. The Dbacks are still an afterthought of a team.
The Yankees will always be the Yankees, even if the Red Sox, Dodgers, and Cubs are the Yankees, too.
There is only one Yankees, in any and all sports. How can anybody not root for Cleveland, unless their absolutely favorite team is still alive?
What makes Cleveland lovable? Did they have a hurricane? Such a spoiled sports state with a recent NBA title and Ohio State football. Yet they want us to feel for them because of the Browns. Cleveland is a division rival for me. Hard to root for that.
Were I a Cubs fan, I'd be confident to the point of overconfidence given the Nats playoff flame outs. As one sports writer in DC has noted: "They are the Capitals with Bats." Here's hoping that the trend reverses itself this year.

Bummer.
Easy choices in the championship series - Go Dodgers, Go Astros.
Sad swish here...
