The only problem I have with the Cubs winning it all will be the "Red Sox Effect". It's a very real, very annoying thing. Luckily, I don't watch ESPN anymore, and MLB Network is pretty unbiased in their coverage so it probably wouldn't be quite as bad as 2004.
I don't think any "real" Cubs fan (whatever that means) is hoping for that. It will be great if they win, but I'm not interested in meeting a new/bandwagon Cubs fan at all. If anything, we'll likely hate them more than anyone else would.
Could you imagine suffering through the 70s, 80s and 90s as a Mizzou fan, having hope for the future for the last fifteen years just to get kicked in the nuts, and in 2019 when the Tigers win the Playoff having to deal with some jerkoff talking about how "we" won because he watched the last six games of the season and picked up a Mizzou hat on fanatics.com? I'd punch them in the throat.
Same situation times ten for the Cubs since there's less teams and most of our entire lives have been spent as the butt of jokes for being Cub fans. frick anyone that's jumped on the wagon recently.

The Cubs are like Mizzou football. Any actual success is ancient dusty history.
That said, I don't really root for them. Would be interesting if they won it all this year. But I won't root for some NY team either.
