Puzzle Description:

The puzzle speaks for itself, but the back story is that the Chicago Cubs have not won a world series in 100 years! And all us Cub fans believe that this is the year!

yeah right they're not gonna win, people in Chicago believe that theres a curse on the cubs and that happened about 60 years ago so why couldn't they win before the curse? because they stink theres only like a few people on that team that are actually good. my home town is Chicago the same as Ashley but im being realistic

I take it you're not a Cub's fan Supergirl? Who's your hometown team? :)

I think that #4 needs to be classified "spoiler" Supergirl. You can do that through the blue "classify" link next to your name. :)

what can turn into the nastiest discussions: religion, politics or sports?
#7: Gypso (Gypso) on Feb 26, 2008 [SPOILER]
I'll take a political rally held at a sports arena from Friday sundown through early Monday morning.

Go Cardinals! So of course you know how I feel about the puzzle ;). Though I have NL Central pride above anything else :).

Well, the Cubs are leading their division right now, so you never know. But with Soriano out with a broken hand, it might be harder. But you never know.
#13: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 21, 2008 [SPOILER]
Another Cubs fan?
#14: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jun 27, 2008 [SPOILER]
Not really. I just enjoy all sports. It is one of my few pleasures in life. I just know several things about most sports.
#15: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 27, 2008 [SPOILER]
So no team in particular Bonkey Doc? I'm just making names up now Adam. I've truly forgotten what name you settled on...
#16: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Jun 27, 2008
I think it was Dr. Banana...but I could be wrong. it's happened once or twice before :)
#17: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jun 27, 2008
My name is anything and everything you want to call me. I am easy going!
#18: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Jun 27, 2008

#19: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jun 27, 2008
Mmmmm. I like it!
#20: Deana L (ffswife) on Jun 27, 2008
Ok, you two! Don't make me turn the hose on! ;)
#21: Adam Nielson (monkey) on Jun 27, 2008
OK, please kindly explain yourself, Deanna. :-)
#22: Nancy Snyder (naneki) on Jun 27, 2008
I do believe Deana it was gutter time! lol
#23: Gypso (Gypso) on Jun 27, 2008
Lol Deana!
#24: Jane Doe (telly) on Nov 4, 2008 [SPOILER]
Well, now that the season is over and the Cubs didn't win, did anyone think the Phillie's would win? I know I didn't call that.
#25: Jota (Jota) on Nov 26, 2008
Not in a million years ! What a surprise !
#26: Jan Wolter (jan) on Dec 15, 2008 [SPOILER]
Hmm...I just wasted some time by reading up on Cubs Curses. There seem to be two: The Curse of the Billy Goat, and the Curse of Fred Merkle. Poor Cubbies.

Great puzzle - I really thought that last year was the year. Everything just seemed to be coming together perfectly. Maybe this year...? If not, Go Indians! (I'm still a DeRosa fan!)
#28: Andrew Schultz (blurglecruncheon) on Feb 17, 2024
You were off by 8 :)

But good enough, more than good enough! It was worth the wait!

108 is sort of a round number, being (checks calculator) 11000 in base 3.
