The Cubs have finally broken through and won one! The curse, the dreaded curse, the curse that has stood for multiple years, is finally broken! Smashed! Destroyed! Obliterated! Decimated! All on a Daryle Ward 3-run homer! Amazing! But, unfortunately, we still have to win a world series to break the actual curse. I was just talking about the curse of the Cubs in Florida. They had lost nine straight in Florida (including at the Rays in June) until Lou's favorite pinch-hitter ripped an 0-1 fastball into the seats. Our friend Paul Sullivan described him as smelling "like a brewery" during postgame interviews, due to his teammates' beer shower (combine weight, game-winning homer, and smelling like beer, and we've got ourselves another Prince Fielder).
But, why is it that it was so impossible for our Cubbies to beat the Marlins or the Rays? Probably bad luck. Every team has its hot and cold streaks, and the Cubs always played in Florida during a cold streak. Or maybe the Cubs decided to suck right then (betting scandal?). We may never know.
