However, I used to cheer for the Red Sox after the Jays were out of it--similar reasons.<BR/><BR/>Then Boston won. Then Boston's fans became more annoying than accidentally biting down on a piece of tinfoil. So, I'm not sure what to think about this whole Cubs could actually win it exactly 100 years later thing. I'm a little scared that the Cubs people will actually become more obnoxious than the Bo-Sox folks did.Duane Rollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16512076277116230020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16538424.post-59756942070791361412008-09-24T09:09:00.000-04:002008-09-24T09:09:00.000-04:00Related to #4, yesterday was the 100th anniversary...Related to #4, yesterday was the 100th anniversary of <A HREF="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/23/sports/baseball/23merkle.html" REL="nofollow">Merkle's Boner</A>, the most controversial play in baseball history.
