I would give up NOTHING! I've given up everything in the past, I think all Cubs fans are owed BIG TIME. But if it means a guarantee, I'd give up ignoring my wife on Sundays, Mondays & occasional Thursday during football season.
— Humberto Prado
Thanks for the reminder, as if I needed it. If the Cubs won the WS, which didn't happen in my dad's lifetime and I had seriously lost hope in it happening in mine after the Bartman incident, I would be willing to go so far as to actually "forgive" and give up my intense hatred of the White Sox, who in a best case scenario can only lose 162 games a year. But only if we sweep.
— T. O'Donnell
I would be willing to give up watching football for the entire month of October.
— Frank Kind, Roebuck, S.C.
I am only twenty years old, but I am sick and tired of Chicago White Sox fans rubbing it in about their World Series Championship. Therefore, in order for me to be nice, I would give up on my right hand with a permanent middle finger on it. That way I can no longer flip off the White Sox fans.
— Chesterton
I would give up ALOT to see the Cubs win! I'm from LA, and I told my friends and family that I will spend my rent money to see them play the Angels in the world series! My grandparents met at Wrigley Field in the 40's, so I always say, if it wasn't for the Cubs, I would not be born! GO CUBBIES!!!!
— Sandra Stradley
You obviously don't get it. We own "maybe this year", and the resulting annual heartbreak. This has been priceless. Giving that up is a hefty price to pay. But, we all would. Also, I'd buy Bartman a seat at the final world series win. Although not in the first row.

Food. All of it. For 2 weeks.

A kidney!

As a DIE-HARD Cubs fan for the past 32 years, I would love nothing more than to see my beloved ball-team win a World Series in my lifetime (my grandfather, rest his soul, lived his entire life, blocks away from Wrigley Field, not ever seeing the north siders take a title home). If they were to bring the championship to 1060 W. Addison for the first time EVER, I would vow to never watch another baseball game again, knowing that nothing would ever top the memory of watching 100 years of disappointment come to an end.
— Miki from Chicago
I would give up my job.
— Dan Karnes
sex for a year....come on cubbies;-)

I'd give up the Sox in Chicago. However, they are already unnecessary.
