The Chicago Cubs are one win away from their first World Series appearance since 1945.

Up 2 to nothing in the bottom of the first off a pair of right field hits from right handers, and a fly ball to center field by Rizzo that was dropped, with men on 2nd and 3rd and one out!

Does the goat affect appearances or just a championship win?

I haven't read up on that in awhile.


Steve Bartman is at the game.  ;D

The Curse of the Billy Goat is a sports-related curse that was supposedly placed on the Chicago Cubs Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise in 1945 when Billy Goat Tavern owner Billy Sianis was asked to leave game 4 of the World Series against the Detroit Tigers at the Cubs' home ballpark of Wrigley Field because the odor of his pet goat (named Murphy) was bothering other fans. He was outraged and allegedly declared "Them Cubs, they ain't gonna win no more," which has been interpreted to mean that there would never be another World Series game won at Wrigley Field. The Cubs have not won a World Series championship since 1908 or played in the World Series since 1945.

I think Joe Buck is trying to have a bromance with Kershaw. He keeps yapping on and on about him; meanwhile Kershaw serves up a floater that was driven into the left field bleachers for run number 4 in the bottom of the fourth!  :biggrin:

Joe Buck needs to be horsewhipped for his clearly idiotic color commentary.  :mad:

I'm watching college football.  Looks like the Cums are going to the WS.

Steve Bartman already has his tickets.  :rotfl:
