I would rather Cleveland play Los Angeles than the Cubbies.

Apologies to Cubs followers here, but your team is too good!

Cleveland just jinxed themselves:

The Curse of Colavito. No one worries over that silly movie.

Under no circumstances are we allowed to root for them -- even if they are playing the sleazeballs who ruined our even-numbered Orange October, with the city that ruined our 73-win season to follow.

and then sweep the Madres or whoever to hand the division to us.

I grew up in Cleveland, and like any Cubs fan, want my hometown team to win. If it were San Francisco vs. Cleveland I'd be neutral, just as I was in the NBA finals.

When I was growing up just to have a winning season was something to dream of.

That way no one can ever blame a fan for the loss.

I don't believe in curses. But I believe in the belief in curses, and that factor makes weird things happen.

When it happened, Moises Alou went absolutely, furiously crazy on the field, screaming at Bartman. When it happened, all of Wrigley clenched. When it happened, a feeling of dread became palpable in the stadium.

That's what a curse is. Not a billy goat or a black cat. But a collective belief that what can go wrong will go wrong. And, oh, did it.

Pitcher Mark Prior lost his composure. Shortstop Alex Gonzalez booted a double-play ball. The Marlins scored eight runs, won that game and Game 7 the next night.

The fans, who have done nothing but be loyal have to be disappointed again because you don't like Tom and his dad. I see. That makes sense. No, i meant it makes absolutely no sense.

Watch game 2. Rizzo is near the tarp trying to catch the ball, and everyone in the front row is trying to get out of the way. They're even holding off the guy in the next row who starts to lean forward.

Not every Cub fan is a pavlovian buffoon
