‘But they threw it first!’

Can’t even celebrate the Cubs hitting the magic 13-run pool mark without another member of the media attempting to besmirch the club’s honor.

Sean Deveney of SportingNews.com suggests that, maybe, perhaps, possibly, the Cubs beat the White Sox to the “throwing a World Series” game by a year.

Deveney’s evidence is a recently discovered affidavit from Black Sox pitcher Eddie Cicotte (played by David Strathairn in the movie “Eight Men Out”).  And what motive does Cicotte have to lie? Besides, of course, wanting to save his career.

First Marty Brennaman’s bitter attack, and now this. Whole world’s out to get the Cubs.
