Ok, so now that our little history lesson is over (did you notice a trend there?) it’s time to end this embarrassment. It’s now or never. If we go down this year you might as well write them off for another 100 years because the weight of history will only grow and smother even the most talented of future teams.
That, and Ron Santo will probably slit his wrist.

If they make it, I’m putting some money down. I’ve never betted on a sports game before, anyone know how it’s done? *something compels me to look in Cory’s direction*

btw, I know, “betted” should be “bet.”

Surprisingly, I’m not a gambler. I play Blackjack on the boat a couple times a year, maybe a NCAA bracket pool, but that’s about it.

Here’s a bet: should they win, Cubs fans will be actually have the nerve to gloat.

…I hate you, grammar.

Ronnie will be just fine, no wrist slitting. Let’s face it, better off we slide now, before the playoffs.
PREDICTION - Streak ends TODAY - SATURDAY!

Alberto Soriano his THREE FRIGGIN’ HOME RUNS today.
Slump over.
And no doubt Ron Santo would bleed Cubbie blue.

Alfonso. Alberto was a hurricane. Good news, nonetheless.

I knew that. It’s late.
