if he wasn't wearing that tie, i could easily mistake him for a homeless man

I just sent it to FJM. We'll see if it's even worth their mockery

So homeless people aren't allowed to wear ties now?

I wonder if national writes have a database of "catchy quotes" about the cubs that they whip out when they need a story on the cubs. No matter what the story is about, it always goes back to curses, billy-goats, and all that cr*p. I wish it would go away, I wish people would just let it go. I guess until they win it won't though. Sometimes I wonder even if we win it, they'll still say, "well its only 1 in a hundred years".

I couldn't agree more. I am sick of that media driven nonsense.

I don't think that will be the attitude, I think it will pretty much go away, at least for a while. The Red Sox have only won one in just under 90 years, but talk of that curse is limited strictly to nostalgic references, at least from what I've seen.

 

Now if the Cubs win a WS, then proceed to have another 40 years of futility highlighted with more remarkable failure a la 69, Durham, and Bartman, then we may hear more about it.

the guy seemed to be mocking the curse to me. he even says "it makes for good copy."
