Can the Chicago Cubs Do It This Year? Or Will it be Heart Break Hotel Again?
There is a good chance that it could end this year for the Cubbies. I will be rooting for them, like I do every time they are in the playoffs. Everybody loves a Cub.
Currently they are in 1st place with a 78 Wins vs 49 losses as of August 22, 2008. The best record in baseball.
I am hoping that this is their year. I have seen them choke before, hopefully they have enough talent to pull it off this year.
With the power of Derreck Lee, Kerry Wood has found a new role, the quality hitting of Aramis Ramírez, the rejuvenated Ryan Dempster, the power throwing of Carlos Zambrano, etc. This looks like a team that can go along way.

A Curse? What Do You Mean a Curse?
The Curse of a Billy Goat.
Billy Sianis is said to have placed this curse on the Chicago Cubs on October 6th, 1945 during game 4 of the 1945 World Series during the seventh inning when he was asked to leave and take his billy goat with him.
It seems that Mr Sianis was very fond of goats. He took his beloved goat "Billy" with him to many other games - and paid for the goat's seat. He probaby bought it something to eat, because goats will eat anything (they do!), he probably bought it something to drink, etc. He was allowed to parade it around in the field with a sign around it's neck stating "We have got Detroit's Goat!"
According to Sianis's family he is said to have sent a telegram to Philip K. Wrigley, the owner of the Cubs, that said "You are going to lose this World Series and you are never going to win another World Series again. You are never going to win a World Series again because you insulted my goat".
While the Cubs have appeared in the World Series since then they have not won a World Series since 1908.
