Curse the Cubs Thread

[mikevan1818]

Ok, it was mentioned (by Hawing I think) in the Non-Brewer Game thread for today that someone needs to start a Cubs Curse thread. Well, I'm going to do it. Take your time to add anything to curse the darn Cubs. The play by the Brewers right now is being magnified because the Cubs are on absolute fire. So, as a Brewer fan . . . I'd like to try and do something, ANYTHING to cool them off. So here it goes:

on a side note, I can't believe Brant Brown signed 8650 of those cards. Somewhere 8650 card collectors are rolling their eyes over that "prized" find in a pack of cards.

I don't think Brewer fans have the ability to curse the Cubs. Only he Cubs can curse themselves. Bartman (Cub fan), the goat (Cubs brought on themselves), Lou Brock (Cubs willingly traded him), Dusty, Brown, Wood, Prior (all Cubs).
