In 2005, when the WHITE SOX won the World Series I got to see the very first playoff game at Comisky Park, (I still call it Comisky), against the Boston Red Sox. At the game I saw a banner hanging from the owners box, on it it said:
NO CURSE
NO GOAT
NO FALLING CONCRETE
NO BARTMAN
Could we all now be living in the era where the Chicago cubs curse will be lifted and they finally win the World Series? Some signs may point to it.
And could it be that that the major mystical sign that the cubs win the World Series just may be President Obama himself?
Because I don't care who you are, especially here in the quad-state area that surrounds the great city of Chicago; meaning Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
I don't care what your race is. White, black, brown, red. yellow or any combination thereof.
I don't care if you're Christian, Jewish, Islamic. Wiccan, atheist, etc.
I don't care what your ancestry is. (To many nations to mention here).
I don't care if you are straight, gay, bi, trans-gendered, or just a pervert.
I don't care if you are a Conservative, liberal, moderate, Republican, democrat, socialist, communist or just not even involved in anything politically.
I don't care if you are rich, poor or anything in between.
It does not matter who you are or what you think because the truth of the matter is this. Everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, for the past hundred years now, especially those who live in the city of Chicago and the surrounding areas; EVERYBODY at one time in their lives has spoken the following statement aloud:
"A Black Man is going to be elected President before the cubs ever win the World Series."
Now to me, as a staunch WHITE SOX fan, I will see the cubs winning the World Series as the first sign of the Apocalypse. I know that somewhere in The Book of Revelation the Apostle John saw the cubs winning the Series, thus bringing in the end of days.
Yes, the cubs win the World Series and then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be riding right down the middle of Michigan Avenue.
Then the Rapture shall come, because you see, as a firm believer in GOD, I believe after the cubs win the Series, He is going to want to collect on all those decades of cubs fans looking up to the heavens with their arms outstretched and saying out loud that one prayer they always pray:
"Just once LORD! THEN ... You can take me."
As a matter of fact cubs fans say that more then: "Wait 'til next year."
Yes, the day after the cubs win the World Series, more than half of the north side will then die.
Now this means that the cubs have anywhere from four to eight years to win the World Series. If they DO NOT take advantage of President Obama's time in history as the first black man to become President, and NOT win the Series during this time period, well then we are going to have to amend that old saying.
Here's my suggestion:
"An Arabic Jewish Lesbian will be elected President of the United States before the Chicago cubs ever win the World Series."
By the way, as a WHITE SOX fan, I will admit that when I write the name of the cubs, yes I write it in lower case deliberately.
