I remember an article in SI couple of years ago where they played out a fantasy world series between the BoSox and the Cubs (Cubs won in 7), and this year there's a chance that might happen. Yeah, a remote chance, but somehow the Sox and the Cubs are pennant and potential World Series contenders this year.

Can you imagine what would happen if both teams made it to the series? There'd be suicide pacts, and both cities would go up in flames once the series ended, regardless of outcome. But man oh man, would it be great.

Other than that scenario, I don't really care what happens to the Sox, but it'd be beyond everything if the Cubs finally won after a 95 year drought. I wouldn't even care that us Cub fans wouldn't be "special" anymore.
