I know this topic has been tucked away. I came across this and had to laugh as one of the players recently mentioned the "goat" after he ends up injuring himself during batting practice of all places.
So for the sake of some humor here is the top 5 moments for the Cubs this year.
1. For whatever reason in a moment where he must have been possessed Cubs catcher punches AJ Pierzinski and once the ensuing melee passes the next batter hits a grand slam.
2. In a classic moment at Wrigley Cubs winning(an unusual occurence this year and even with 2 outs in the 9th)
Guess who hits the game winning 3 run homer(AJ Pierzinski)
Sure seems like a cursed team to me. OK very bad team maybe.
3. In another rare moment where the team is winning and a pop fly bounces off the 3rd basemans head and into left field.
4. The reigning NL batting champ and gold glove 1st baseman breaks his hand in a freak accident on the same play the pitcher is injured fielding the ball and subsequently flipping the ball toward 1st base.
5 2nd baseman is awarded two errors on the same play 1 for dropping a relay throw from right field and the other for his own wild relay throw.
Ok so very soon the Bears start training camp and we'll have the Sox in the playoffs again. Now back to our normally scheduled programming.
