Chicago Cubs: A Century of Suck
By Sean Percival on May 21, 2009
Few franchises in Major League Baseball have the rich history of the Chicago Cubs. But life isn’t easy for Cubs fans, it never really has been. As the years and upsets have piled on, they’ve told a very unique story. Please join us as we take a look at The Chicago Cubs: A Century of Suck.

Wow, sounds like somebody is onto something here!
Your infograph is wrong. The Bartman ball would have been the 2nd out in that inning. Alex S. Gonzalez botched a double play ball right after that.
Your facts are wrong. The Padres beat the cubs 3-2 in the 84 NLCS. Also, the cubs did not lose the pennant in game 6 of the 03 LCS, rather they had the lead in game 7.
100 years isn’t really that long… I mean… the Earth is over 4 billion years old… so if they win every 100 years, they’ll be doing pretty good…
Thanks for the feedback, I’ll try to get those mistakes fixed for ya.
also lol @alfred
Caray didn’t broadcast the Cubs until 1982.
Bartman also didn’t knock the ball out of Alou’s glove. Facts, they’re a bitch when you’re trying to be snarky.
You also forgot to mention Sosa corking his bat…I think that belongs. This is making me laugh today, thank you. Go White Sox :)
Gotta add how the Cards just sweeped the cubbies must suck liking a team as bad as the Cubs!
Also all you people trying to say your info is wrong… Who cares the cubs still suck!
if the cubs have been so bad the last two seasons, what does that say for the cardinals?
enjoy that sweep on may 22. it’ll mean a lot later.

More than enough said.
Enjoy the “sweeped” from the Cards fan. It’s “swept” genius. Figures coming from St. Louis. Counting down the days until Pujols gets busted for roids.. Don’t worry, it’s inevitable.
w00t for Caray
There are teams that suck:
since 1905 Pennants World Series
Yankees 39 26
Cardinals 18 10
Dodgers 18 6
Giants 17 5
A’s 14 4
Tigers 10 4
Cubs 10 2
Reds 9 6
Red Sox 9 4
Braves 9 3
St. Louis/Balt 7 3
Pittsburg 6 5
Wash/Minn 6 3
White Sox 5 3 *
Indians 5 2
Phillies 5 2
Actually the Sox could have won 4 but they decided to throw the series for a few bucks.
you forgot to include the 2003 poll which concluded that the cubs had the gayest fans in the US with just over 99.8% of Cubs fans reportedly being fudgepackers.
Thanks for that info. Unlike you I don’t read gay literature to know about polls like that.
You should sell these…. I would buy one! I think a lot of people about 5 hrs south of CHI would buy it as well! Go Cards!
It should all be up to date =)
