Random Link #4

Three things factor into today's link:

1. It is baseball season.
2. My wife Jessica is in Chicago with my son Hayden.
3. It is the 100-year anniversary of the Chicago Cubs last winning a World Series title.

One hundred years is a long time. I mean, I've been around forever it seems and I'm only 28 years old.

The reason the Cubs haven't won the championship in 100 years? They're cursed.

But this could be the year they break this evil curse (and yes, a curse from a goat is the most evil curse I can think of...the more I read the word 'curse' the weirder that word sounds). Even though it's early in the season, the Cubbies sit in first place in the National League Central Division.

Curses can definitely be broken. Two examples:

1. The Boston Red Sox broke the Curse of the Bambino by winning the World Series in 2004.
2. I broke my own curse of performing poorly in clutch situations when I defeated my little brother Ryan for the 2006 Beast Jug ping pong championship game. I don't know why I had such a curse or where it came from, but I believe it was broken when my wife Jessica gave me a good luck kiss right before the match.
