March 19, 200323 yr Well; you can mention the fact that the Cubs haven't back to back winning seasons in the past whatever years, I think its like 26 yrs at or so. Or the fact that they have like 5 winning seasons the past 30 yrs or something like that. Or you could do one on this current team and compare players with the Cubs current team.
March 19, 200323 yr An essay about how one baseball team is better than another? You're kidding right? What are you, in 3rd grade? Anyway, you should put that recent quote by Todd Hundley in there somewhere. The one about "as long as Sammy hits 2 HR and they're drunk, everyone is happy in Wrigleyville."
March 20, 200323 yr haha I had to do this freshman year. It was actually more of a debate. Anyways the one killing factor is the main factor. Think simple. What makes a team better than another? Simple. When they play eachother. I'm not sure of the exact stat, but the Sox have beaten the Cubs in interleague play overall, plus beat them in the world series. Hope that helped. I smell an A+!

I like your approach. If I was wriing that essay, that's the way I'd go. LOL
March 20, 200323 yr we lead the cross town series by 1 game so far Actually, I think it's 2 games Seventh-Inning stretch started at Old Comiskey Like HSC said, the Sox had Harry Carey first White Sox ex-owner Bill Veeck planted the ivy at the Urinal Some Cubs fans storm the field to beat up CUBS players First recorded "curtain-call" was at Old Comiskey Park Notice the White Sox bloodline in alot of so-called "Cub" traditions Also, you could put in your paper that the only "Cub" tradition that they're responsible for is a 2-toothed, homeless, crackhead in Ronnie "Woo-Woo" Wickers. They're welcome to taking credit for that tradition.
March 22, 200323 yr They can also have the tradition of the billy goat curse. WTF is the billy goat curse?
March 22, 200323 yr They can also have the tradition of the billy goat curse. WTF is the billy goat curse? Back in the early 1900's... some guy bought a ticket for, and tried to bring into Wrigley, a billy goat. The Cubs wouldn't not allow the goat to enter the stadium. The guy put a curse on the Cubs and they haven't been to the World Series since.

Or maybe it was his father. Either way, the connection is there.

Check your e-mail. I need to ask you something!
March 22, 200323 yr Here's something else you may wish to add...The White Sox have finished with a better record than the Cubs in 40 of the past 50 years!

The guy put a curse on the Cubs and they haven't been to the World Series since. It wasn't just some guy with a Billy Goat, it was the owner of the Billy Goat cheeseburger place, you know the place that was in the old snl skit with the polish guy saying cheesebuhga...cheesebuhga...cheesebuhga The fact that the curse is derived from a great burger joint adds to the lure of the curse, if you haven't been to the Billy Goat I recommend you go, I haven't been back to the billy goat since I moved to NJ, and I don't remember where they are (I think there is 2 of them) maybe someone on the boards knows

March 24, 200323 yr And if we're talking about curses on the Cubs with other animals....was it 1969 when the Cubs were up by a large amount of games when a black cat ran in front of their dugout...and they then lost the division and the Mets eventually went on to win the Series....I know it was something like that.

I heard something like that....I guess that in 69, the Cubs were f***ed.
