"I don't buy into that curse," Mark DeRosa said after the final out of the final game. Many other people in various positions of authority made the same kinds of statements about the list of Cubs curses, curses that have supposedly prevented the Cubs from winning a World Series since 1908. The list of curses has grown so long that we'll soon need a main-frame computer to keep track of it.
For intelligent people who claim not to believe in curses, the whole subject still gets a lot of press coverage every time the Cubs fall down on the way to the Pennant. We have the billy goat curse, the Brock and Broglio curse, the black cat curse, the dreaded Bartman curse, and so many others that I just lost count.
If journalists would stop writing about all this alleged nonsense, maybe I could forget it. Or maybe I couldn't.
