Curse of the Billy Goat

Ok. It's official. I truly believe in the Curse--more than I ever did before. Say what you want, but you can't tell me any different.

Events:
1945--Billy Sianis places a curse on the Cubs when they wouldn't let his Billy Goat come to Wrigley Field during the World Series.
1969--A black cat runs onto the field during a Cubs game. The Cubs blow a huge lead and the Mets go to the playoffs.
1984--The Cubs make it to the playoffs. While in San Diego, numerous missteps happen.
1989--Again, more miscues on the field.
2003--BARTMAN. Need I say more???????
2007--Swept in 3 games by the Diamondbacks.
2008--Did you see tonight's game? It was like a circus act. Grown men completely forgot how to play the game.

We all thought 100 years was enough. I guess ol' Billy Sianis meant 100 years from 1945!
