Can the Cubbies do it??

As an honorary Cubs fan having visited Wrigley just once back in 2004 I have to point out that some goat or summink has to be allowed to stroll around the place before they EVER win anything again.

Leastways that’s what I read on here and in a bar in Chicago

From Wikipedia:

Billy Sianis’s nephew Sam Sianis has been brought out on the field with a goat multiple times in attempts to break the curse: on Opening Day in 1984 and 1989 (the Cubs won the division both years), in 1994 to stop a home losing streak, and in 1998 for the wild card play-in game (which the Cubs won).

Yup that’s what I was talking about and the bar I was in was The Billy Goat.

Go Cubs Go!!!

I think you have to factor in the role of [booming echo effect] DESTINY.[/b e effect] When a team hasn’t won the World Series in anyone’s memory, destiny can kick in. In 2004, the Cardinals had a storybook season, right up until the last 4 games. They crossed the path of destiny, and it was all over. :smack:
