It wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't blame them either.

Wow - interesting stuff. I can see it though. But I think you can say that for just about every game back in those days.

Interesting...I thought that this had come out years ago. I must be thinking of something different.

If they did do it, I wonder how many said "Sure we'll throw it this year because I'm sure we will win plenty in the future!"

I like this theory... it makes me feel better about being a Cubs (& Bills & Sabres!) fan... (say it with me now: LOU-WHO... THE-ER! :P )

Because now I can say: "It's not that we haven't won a Series since 1908... It's that we've CHOSEN not to win a Series since 1908!"
