I’m not big on jinxes or curses. However, this makes me cringe.
It’s one thing to throw up a “It’s gonna happen” or “This is our year” sign in the bleachers. But it’s completely irresponsible as a Cubs fan to prematurely punch a World Series ticket in mid-July.
Patience is priceless.

The flack over Reds broadcaster Marty Brennaman ripping “obnoxious” Cubs fans after they bombarded the field with baseballs after Adam Dunn’s home run Wednesday recalls the scene from Animal House when Delta house brothers stand up for their picked-upon nerdy pledges: “They can’t do that to our pledges.,” Boon says. “Only we can do that to our pledges,” Otter replies. Chicago sports fans have complained for years that large a portion of the crowd comes to Wrigley Field more to experience the unique fun and atmosphere there than to watch the game. But as soon as an outsider accuses the party of getting out of control, Cubs Nation gets outraged. Face it; Cubs fans have more fun at the ballpark than almost any fans in baseball, and sometimes that fun spills out of control.
