The Meigs Field Curse has already started.

After things were going so well, and Daley moved the troops in during
the dark of night to destroy the lovely little airport, it seems
Chicago is totally and completely screwed. Convention activity is
down (the McCormick center is adjacent to Meigs Field, wonder why
companies are resistent to coming to a downtown that is no longer
convenient); the White Sox were doing very well, just like Meigs, and
folded at the end; the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry built a
replica Wright Flyer...it didn't fly...just dribbled off the end of
the rail; the Cubs are playing at night, which because of the Meigs
Field Curse and Daley's nighttime evil, the Cubs will appear to be
doing well....

Karma's a bitch, ain't it Daly? The Cubs will never reach the series, ever.

Muahahahahahahahaha.

Don't forget out pathatic Bears. Let's see- we've got no offensive
line, no running game, out QB is running around like a chicken with
it's head cut off. Our run defense couldn't stop a peewee team from
averaging 5 yards a carry, and we have no pass-rush. Good news is we
have a good FG kicker.

Of course, they're playing in the eyesore on the lake, srongarmed into
existance by Dick Daley the same way as Miegs Field (after the last
fan left Soldier Field at the end of the 2001 playoff loss to
Philidelphia, the construction crews started tearing up the field,
even though there were still court cases pending over the legality of
the renovation)

On another note, The Fan doesn't need to go to Florida for safe haven.
South of Madison is just fine; not everyone in Chicago is a Cubs fan.
Most of us Sox fans just kind of chukeled after that one.

Reading some 1918 (hehehe on both teams this year) Cubs vs Boston World
Series history - it said the Cubs played their 1918 World Series Home games
at Comiskey Park, because it had more seats than Wrigley Field.
