Chicago Cubs Break Curse--Head To World Series

The Chicago Cubs have since their last appearance in a World Series in 1945, have alternated between bad teams and great teams with bad luck. This year, for the first time since 1945, they have won the National League pennant. The Cubs play in historical Wrigley Field, in which many of the newer baseball stadium have been modeled.
In order to win it's first world championship since 1908, the Cubs will have to defeat the Cleveland Indians, who are trying to also overcome a draught.  The Indians have not won a World Series since 1948.

Mariners Are Still Idle

Baseball is definitely a 4 season sport as the Mariners had their third consecutive game postponed by snow. The Mariners came within a pitch of their second straight loss Friday when Manager Mike Hargrove was able to delay the game long enough to have it called on account of snow. Two makeup double headers have now also been postponed. Meanwhile the weather here in the Puget Sound area continues to be seasonably pleasant.
