southsider2k5 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Excellent the SI cover jinx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 That appears very bold of SI to go right out and claim "The Cubs will win the World Series." Now, its only fitting that Wood injures himself and the Flubs choke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJeter Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 It took less than 1 hour for that to get posted on the three Sox boards I visit. Some guys at a Cub board are none too happy about it either. "Excellent." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Now all we have to do is get a team picture of the Cubs on the cover of Madden 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooftop Shots Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I know this was posted a couple of days ago, but a thought just came to me. Wasn't there a S.I. cover last year that had Wood and Prior on it? By coincidence....aren't they the 2 that blew the final 2 games? My point for bringing this up is................ Can anyone confirm that they were on a cover last year, and if so, any idea which issue? Between that one and the latest one, what "2 GREAT SOUVENIERS" to have around in as a tribute to good memories. If anyone knows which back issue, I'll call S.I. and try to get a hold of one. Thanks!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 What's crazier, the last 2 times an active sox player has been on the cover, it's been just as bad... march 13- 2000 Not much happened immediately, we DID win the division, but LOST in the playoffs.... but this one is crazy... This was out 4 days before the baseball strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the first one bad? That season was a blast...we just struggled in the playoffs. I wouldnt say that was a bad year by any means. That is silly.

That is silly. The reason we lost in the playoffs that season was 2 fold. First was that we lollygagged in the second half of the season after a monster 1st half and second is that JM was totally outclassed as a manager by Lou Pinella. TOTALLY outclassed.
