Heartbreak of the 1969 Cubs-(Part 2)

…Actually, the Cubs freefall was more “amazing” than the Mets climb. The Cubs lost 17 of their remaining 25 games as the Mets went zooming past them, and on to being the 1969 World Series Champions. Once again, Cubs fans were left holding the bag, only this time it was different. With all the excitement of being in first place, all the way up until mid-September, and then the Cubs couldn’t even buy a win.

 

No one would hear the “crack” of the baseball bats that October at Wrigley Field, or any October any time soon. In the years following, other Chicago teams have all been to the Big Game; the Bears, the Blackhawks, the Bulls and the White Sox…just not the Cubs. Fast forward to 2010. It has now been 65-years since the Chicago Cubs have won the Pennant and 102-years since they have won the World Series. That’s not amazing-that’s STUPID!!! I have concluded that the Chicago Cubs are afraid to win. I can think of no other explanation-can you??…
