Okay, I'll Say it

I think it's necessary that I do this in order to save the Cubs - I am ALWAYS wrong about games, so I will state unequivicobally that "The Cubs are Toast". Yes, if ever there was a curse on a sports team, the one that is obviously now on the Chicago Cubs owes it to all self-respecting curses everywhere to thrash Kerry Wood and the Cubbies this afternoon, in a manner that properly humiliates their fans and at least one additional Cub player.

One more scape-goat to stand side-by-side with Gonzales, Buckner, Leon Durham, Fred Snodgrass, Fred Merkle and all the others who have made a one single goof in a baseball game that we will never let them (or their ghosts) forget...but especially Peggy Lucas of Evanston, Ill, the real culprit at last night's game, who even admitted: "I feel like it's all my fault... Just before the Marlins started scoring, I said, `I can't believe we're going to the World Series.' I should have known better with the curse and all."

I challenge that curse to do it's thing tonight, in a way that proves its existence beyond a doubt...Kerry Wood throws the final series-winning strike and the ball unravels in mid-air and is carried away by a pelican as Marlins circle the bases in disbelief...
