Madjack, I really had to laugh when you listed the Cubs as your "jinx" team ("no other team comes close.") I am not a big baseball bettor, but I can imagine that anyone who does bet that sport has AT LEAST A COUPLE stories to tell about the Cubs.
If they posted a billboard in Chicago that read, "The Cubs, love 'em or leave town", half the city would vacate before the All-Star game.
