70 years ago yesterday, Bill Sianis was denied admission to Game 4 of the World Series, when he attempted to bring his pet goat. Siania, owner of Billy Goats Tavern (of SNL fame), then put a curse on the Cubs, stating that they will never make another World Series.

Cubs would go on to lose that World Series to the Tigers, and haven't made one since.

Will the curse end at 70?

It will be a sad day when that "curse" is gone. Not because I don't like the cubs, but because the cubs are the last team with any mystique to them. The Red Sox overcoming their "curse" was a huge moment but a decade later now the RS's are just another team with a great ballpark. If cubs win, it will be epic, but also the end of an era which would be sad.

Can we back up and point out how this guy is a unreasonable a-hole?

NO, you can't bring a fricking goat to a baseball game. Cursing the fricking because they pointed that out is just dickish as frick.

frick this guy. Hope he at some point got beat up.

Go Cubs.

Was Boston's really a curse? I mean we have documentation that Sianis cursed the Cubs publicly, but did anyone actually curse the Red Sox, besides their fans self-defeatist attitude?

Get Bartman and a goat into one of your games. Curse will be lifted.
