I know this is back in the day but don’t think it’s ever been posted here. The superstitious Chicago Cubs summon Greek Orthodox priest Reverend Father James L. Greanias of St. Iakovos Church in Valparaiso, Indiana to exorcise the Cubs dugout before Game 1 of the NLDS. Cubs are swept by L.A. immediately, leading all to wonder if he cursed them instead
Article from the Sun Times talks about another “dead goat” incident. Yikes. The goat will always be with the Cubbies!
A dead goat was found hanging on a statue of Harry Caray outside Wrigley Field early Monday on the North Side. A similar incident occurred in 2007, police said.
About 2:40 a.m., police responded to a 911 call indicating a dead goat was hanging from a rope on the statue of Harry Caray outside Wrigley Field at the intersection of Clark and Addison streets, according to Town Hall District police.
The goat was hanging on one of Caray’s outstretched arms, according to police, who took the goat down and disposed of the remains. It was not known how the goat died and nothing was damaged, according to police.
Ouch. Why does Sports Illustrated continue to do this to the Cubs. Over at homerderby.com they have a wonderful piece on the different Cubs SI covers and what has happened directly after that. It’s scary actually. So it can’t be good for you Cubs fans to see Aramis on the front page and the quote “Welcome to The Party”. Haha… It’s gonna be a short party!
