My dear Cubbies of the land! We have all suffered way too long.. It is time for us.. Cubbies of this generation, to break the Billy Goat Curse once and for all! You see, non cubby readers, to be cursed is not a trivial thing.. 107 years of not winning a championship.. yea that's part of it.. But a true curse brings a team (and the fans) tantalizingly close to victory... lifts us to dizzying hights where you can taste that trophy.. ...and then.. WHAM!!!! The curse slams us... HARD.. But nothing lasts forever.. not even curses by a goat owner (No goat jokes please.. we are seriously trying to break a curse here!) So in this thread.. i am asking for all cubbies and cubby sympathizers to offer their support, suggestions on breaking the curse, tell us what you are doing/did to break it.. or any sort of support/pointers.. OK.. here's my first PSA to ALL CUBS fans.. If the other team is hitting.. DO NOT.. I repeat DO NOT.. try to catch the ball!!! (I am a firm believer that stadiums should quiz the fans that are sitting in places where they can potentially affect the play to make sure they are educated in the fundamentals of baseball) Now that I got that out of my chest.. Here's what I am doing to break the curse.. I am growing a goatee till the Cubs win the World Series!.. Get it? Goate.... Cubbies Unite!!! *I will be keeping this thread alive with edutaintional bits on the lovely city of Chicago.. Let's keep this alive until we win the damn thing!!!
Billy goat curse will rage on unless the Cubs apologize for making billy goat angry and Allah is meh so suck it
On behalf of all the Chicago Cubs fans, I sincerely apologize to Murphy the Billy Goat for kicking you out of a baseball game.. Baseball is a universal pass time where all the creatures of the lands, whether they be two legged, four legged, hoofed and horned or hairy shall enjoy. If we win the World Series, we will allow any goat to come visit the Wrigley field for free for eternity (We are not buying beers and hotdogs though) TLR (for the goats) Baaa..baa-a..baaaa..baa
And I was thinking my team is lame. At least we did won something... 51 years ago. Looks like cubbies are really baseball ultras )))
I'm a bit on the fence here. Without the Cubbies' curse, we never would have had Steve Goodman's "A dying Cubs fan's last request," and Doug Adair's "There's always next year." Dooming one team to perpetual failure is a small price to pay for such beautiful bittersweet laments.
Here's a quick list of North American "Major" sports teams with 40 years or more of waiting for a championship.. I have ranked them on the likeliest (in my opinion) to get a championship in the next 10 years to least likely.. Please weigh in with your opinions!! DETROIT LIONS: 46 years: The current group looks elite enough to make a serious run to get the Vince Lombardi trophy.. May be they'll sign Barry Sanders back VANCOUVER CANUCKS: 41 years: Oh the riots.. They came so close!!! I'm so rooting for this talented squad so that ATA Devs will give us all free xtals (may be a stanly cup special equip) when they win! *roll eyes emoji ATLANTA FALCONS: 46 years: I have Devonta in my fantasy league.. Go dirty birds!!! PHOENIX SUNS: 43 years: The management always put up exciting teams.. One day, the chemistry will lift them to a championship.. HOUSTON ASTROS: 50 years: C'mon! You play in an air conditioned stadium! Just shut that off when the opposing team is fielding.. Make them faint of heat exhaustion!!! PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: 46 years: NFC East is pretty weak.. They just need their new QB to pull a Kurt Warner! KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: 42 years: DITTO.. Oh and bring Techmo Bowl Christian Okoye back! LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS: 41 years: This is THE team in LA.. May be better coaching?? TEXAS RANGERS: 51 years: They should let George Dubya be the coach.. And invade Iran for some outfield prospects MINNESOTA VIKINGS: 46 years: Really!?.. You can't build around All Day?.. May be sign that Viking fan guy as your QB SAN DIEGO SUPERCHARGERS: 46 years: Bring those powder blue uniforms back! Bring Air Coryell back! ..and call the navy jets to fly over to trip audibles.. (Note: we use to go to games in the 90's with a surfboard with the sign "Atleast we have the beaches) ST. LOUIS BLUES:44 years: Change the name!!! May be St. Louis Hip Hop Hockey so needs cheerleaders.. JERSEY B: 43 years: I still think they should have signed Tebow.. Hey atleast they have a better shot than Jersey A.. *Note: Die Hard sports fans know that both the Giants and the Jets play in New Joycey SAN DIEGO PADRES: 43 years: Atleast we still have the beaches!!!!! Baseball so needs cheerleaders CLEVELAND BROWNS 43: Stop drafting druggies! WASHINGTON NATS: 43 years: Is it me or all the Presidents don't really care about the Washington teams.. Hey atleast the name 'Nationals' don't offend anyone MILWAUKEE BREWERS: 43 years: I have only one suggestion.. FREE BEER SACRAMENTO KINGS: 60 years: What else are they gonna watch? ATLANTA HAWKS: 53 years: OK I have a wild and politically incorrect idea.. Why not just sign those white guys who go to NCAA final four every year but never makes it to the NBA? CINCINNATI BENGALS: 44 years: When have you ever seen an Orange tiger? OK Tony the Tiger doesn't count.. Really.. Get that uniform fixed and the eye of the tiger will follow.. OK we have covered pretty miserable sufferings.. But the teams below take the misery to the legendary levels.. BUFFALO TEAMS: (SABRES 41, BILLS 46): Hey.. Atleast you can watch reruns of Frank Reich and his Bills making the greatest comeback in Playoffs.. Dig deep Buffalo.. I have watched with the awesome fans in snow.. There is still a flame. CLEVELAND INDIANS: 63 years: Who's here to see Charlie Sheen signed on as the "Wild Thing" Vaughn?? C'mon.. That was the Americas Team!! TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS: 44 years: Deep down.. The whole city won't care if they go on the next 100 years without a cup.. Atleast they have good kiss cams That's me at the front btw.. GO LEAFS GO!!!
Ashes, it's awful that the cubs are winning. As a cubs fan I no longer have an excuse to never pay attention to baseball
OMG!!! My goatee is working!.. After a historic rally in the ninth, the Cubbies are on to the NLCS!!! Yay!!! Cheers Cubbies!
OMG OMG OMG!!! CUBBIES ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!! ....and they will be playing.. The equally loveable perennial losers in the Cleveland Indians!!!!
