Cubs fans, it's not the Curse of the Goat
It's the Ghost of Harry Pulliam.
You could argue that both the Cubs and the Umpires conspired that day on the Polo Grounds many years ago. You can't suddenly enforce the rules that you haven't been enforcing without informing both sides. The Cubs knew that, and they knew the umps hated McGraw. Find a way to exorcise the Ghost and the Cubs will win the WS again. Not until. P.S. If you are a bb fan and you are lost in this discussion, sorry, I don't have time to write a book. Google will help.

Unfortunately, we are about to be visited by the Curse of the Cardinal(s). But for the next few days we can still celebrate.

And as for the years to come, this might be the worst Cubs team we see for a while, given the core roster's youth. So take heart, Sandy.

 As a lifetime Cards fan I think the Cards are the better team over a 162 game season. But in 5? Now? The Cards are banged up and limped into postseason. I think your Cubs have a better than even shot. The only thing preventing me saying it is clearly a Cubs advantage is you had to burn Arrieta in the WC game so the Cards will see him only once. If you get past the Cards Arrieta has the look of Bumgarner last year and he could take the Cubs all the way.
