Just found this...

I know this is shameless BoSox bashing (and Cubs too!)

A newly found affidavit from the 1920 Grand Jury hearings has claims that the Cubs may have thrown the 1918 World Series against the Red Sox. White Sox pitcher Eddie Cicotte told 1920 Cook Country Grand Jury that the Cubs influenced the Sox.

Rumor

It will be interesting to see if this leads anywhere. If they did throw it then maybe the Cubs' WS drought is karmic retribution for sullying the game.

Of course it could be that one of d-bags who got caught in the Black Sox scandal was simply trying to deflect the blame off him and his scumbag co-conspirators.

I think they should be fined $750,000 and docked a first round draft pick.

I think the Cubs have been punished enough... Obviously the Sox weren't responsible, they just won the WS.

If this is true it means it has only been 90 years since the Cubs were the best, not 100 years.


at the ridiculous Cubs. The team motto can now be "Maybe we haven't sucked for a hundred years just quite yet".
