What Else Will Befall the Cubs?

Today is the day to have an extra margarita

Chicagoans, come see me on Friday!

This weekend, while my Chicago White Sox were not exactly overachieving, the Chicago Cubs found new ways to be terrible, specifically, by giving up TWO grand slams in ONE INNING to the New York Mets.

What Else Will Befall the Cubs?

Spontaneous combustion of remaining outfield players

Players accidentally injecting themselves with estrogen hormones instead of growth hormones: develop lovely but cumbersome breasts.

Cute girls stop coming to the ballpark; left only with uggos.

Cubs realize they actually are cursed but this curse involves them being locked in an enchanted castle until their true loves come to rescue them.

Bats found to be corked and filled with highly unstable raw uranium

Fans and players say, "Maybe next year!", but on the day before the 2007 season, the world ends.
