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...

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 :)

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.

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!
