Schadenfreude

There should be a lot of glum faces at work today. Should be fun.

No Cubs fan would ever dream of it, but here's how you remove the jinx:

Get out of Wrigley.

The park was built to house a team in the short-lived Federal League. The Cubs didn't move there until 1916, eight years into their 95-year groove. Their previous World Series victories were at the West Side Grounds, and their string of 19th-century NL titles were won at a string of other small parks. In fact, the only team to prosper in the Allegedly Friendly Confines were...the Chicago Bears, who won 6 pre-Super Bowl NFC titles there since moving up from Decatur.



Sure it's a half-baked theory, but no more stupid than some story about a goat.
