For the indians-
* Francona
* Coco Crisp
* American League
* Andrew Miller.

For the Cubs-
* 108 years
* Wrigley Field
* Steve Goodman
* Lackey / Leister/ Epstein

Fuck it..l'm going with the Cubs, if I lose and Indians win, I get a free dinner on Friday. So it is a no lose situation!

method of picking the world series champion every year. It was always the team with the fewest ex-Cubs on the roster.

IIRC, it was accurate into the '90s.

Royko is long gone, but I have been wondering how he would evaluate this one? Are current Cubs carriers of the ex-Cub factor?

We will find out soon enough I guess.

It is the end times. Neither of these cursed teams can win. Now it's a rain delay, then it will be extra innings, then the volcanoes and meteor strikes.
