I have no idea whatsoever what you are talking about.
It's what I do best.

Pretty sure I solved the meta, but submitting is giving me issues. Message sent to Mikey.

I infer from my absence from the latest leaderboard that I need to try again .

You need to consult with the person who makes the leaderboard, since I think he made a mistake.
(That would be me but is a way to make it seem like I'm blameless.)

Whew, your subtle hint seemed to do the trick. I'm glad I didn't have to consult that leaderboard person. His avatar has "crazy eyes."

Back to school week for me, so busy days... But MikeyG Metas are a much needed distraction! Great puzzle, and glad to make Destiny happen!

Please fill us in on some, when it's time to tell the answer. I have a personal interest in the subject, which, sadly, is likely to be depressing for quite some time.

So I am honored that we met the quarter-century mark for this meta! That would be unheard of one year ago when I solved crosswords but had no intention of ever making them. Congrats to the winner board - winners to be revealed later!
Answer: CUB or any similar variant (CUBS, CHICAGO CUBS, etc.)
I had the seed of this meta much earlier in the year before the Cubs...well, if you know you know. The title was meant to be my cheesy humor against the backdrop of the National League Central (thanks to one international solver who persevered on an admittedly US-centric meta), and after Matt ran his COMEDY CENTRAL puzzle, I figured it was time to give this one the green light.
Of course, based on how my beloved Cubbies are currently doing, the title took on another meaning, haha.
I will be working on the MMM and trying to find that TV show in the Gaffney today; I know today is also Lollapuzzoola, which is awesome, but I have too much work-related stuff today, so I have to take a pass on that.
Play ball! (Or crosswords.)
