I realize that we're not even a third of the way through the season. But waking up this Sunday morning, both the Cubs and the Red Sox lead their divisions by a game and a half. In a scenario that would be part cool, part nightmare, the Cubs would finally make it to the World Series, but lose in the ninth inning of the seventh game to the Red Sox, the only team with more legends about curses and whatnot than the Cubs. Honestly, I think a Babe Ruth curse beats an Angry Goatkeeper curse hands down.

Of course, by having mentioned even the possibility of the Cubs contending that far down the road, I've jinxed them once again.

Man they gotta get Sammy Sosa back.
