Maybe a different colored cat.

I'm probably going to catch hell from other Cub fans for even bringing this up, but...

It has been 40 years.
2009 - 1969 = 40

Well, not exactly 40 years yet, but it seems like no one is even acknowledging this.
All I want to know is..
Has anyone... in all this time... considered...possibly... maybe...
letting a white cat roam across the field in front of Lou Piniella and then running behind whoever happens to be playing 3rd base (get well soon, Ramirez!) while he's on deck?

Everyone's been concentrating on that OTHER animal. Maybe it's time to shift gears.

OK, fine. You're not going to bother giving in to these "silly superstitions".
Then someone stop by the clubhouse and tell Lou to start giving these guys more batting practice or something! This is friggin ridiculous!!! Yes, more ridiculous than a freakin animal curse!

p.s. - Go Cubs.

Uribe's Curse - 100 years for the Sox

I was listening to Johnny B. on WLUP 97.9FM - CHICAGO the other day and he was talking to a guy who had sold his boat to White Sox third baseman Juan Uribe.

According to the man who sold the boat, Uribe had asked him to store the boat for him for a few days so he could arrange to have the boat shipped to his home in the Dominican Republic.

Just google (yes, now it's a verb) for "uribe boat" and you'll find plenty of articles that give the details.

Long story short... Uribe has left the boat at this man's car wash/detailing shop for the whole season and has yet to pick it up, so the man contacted Uribe's people and said he would have to start charging daily storage fees.
This information apparently was never relayed to Uribe and so the third baseman refused to pay, and has yet to pick up his boat.

Has anyone noticed the Sox are kinda suckin right now? Suckitude to the level of possibly not making it into the playoffs?

FORGET GOATS!
I'm thinking that Uribe better pay this guy and pick up his boat or the Sox may suffer from...

THE HUNDRED YEAR BOAT CURSE!

Keep it up, Uribe! Maybe the Sox Fans will forgive you.... some day.
