Now That's Some Strong Voodoo
The Curse of The Billy Goat apparently not only applies to the Cubs but to teams with too many ex-Cubs on their roster. Only two teams with three or more ex-Cubs on their rosters have won the World Series since 1945. Explains why the Yankees with six ex-Cubs folded against the Red Sox with only two ex-Cubs. Alas, the Yanks are caught in a catch-22, as there are three ex-Cubs worth keeping around: Jon Lieber, Tanyon Sturtze, and Miguel Cairo.* Decisions. Decisions.
* Whoops: forgot Flash Gordon. But maybe the Yankees can solve that dilemma by packaging him for Tim Hudson.
