Sorry Bartman II


Some baseball traditions should never be messed with. Long live The Goat!

Rookie Chris Young hit a three-run homer and Stephen Drew tripled in two more in an 8-4 victory Thursday night that put the Diamondbacks ahead 2-0 in the best-of-five NL division series.

Unless they turn it around at Wrigley Field, the Cubs will make it 99 years and counting without a World Series title. The Billy Goat Curse would still reign.

We got 'em right where we want 'em.

Kind of reminds me of '84 when the Cubs won the first 2 in Wrigley. Of course, they got screwed that year due to not having lights at Mecca and having to play 3 straight in the "House that Bevacqua Built." What team was so desperate for fans that they had install lights in the first place. Nice "Tradition"....

Durham (where is he from again) would have made that play if it was an 8-ball rather than a baseball.......

At least the Bears are at the Packers on Sunday Night. I am sure that will go well......

Heading to the Turnpike.....and to the ditch.....
