So, what do you think of their prediction? I can see the Tigers, but as much as I love 'em, I don't see the Cubbies winning their own division. I'll go with the Tigers over the Padres in 6.

You know I never bought the notion that the Red Sox were cursed back in the day. That is unless they bought the curse off and finally won a World Series. However, the Cubs are a different story. I think maybe there is something to it all. I just remember the fan who caught the fly ball in the stands that cost them a chance to go to the World Series as the Marlins ended up later eating them and then going on to win the World Series. Yep, no doubt about it, it matters little how good a team they have. They seem to be cursed and probably always will be. I just wonder if that fan who caught the ball is still in witness protection services. It was so bizzare it is as if he got caught in a bad Sienfeld episode.

Tigers and Padres is a reasonable guess. The Mets could be tough as could the Braves. The Angels and Red Sox will be tough as well.

"remember sammy sosa"
Sorry for the rather obscure "Simpsons" reference above. I just couldn't help it.
"Cape Feare" episode, Sideshow Bob is questioned in court why he would want to murder Bart. A lawyer asks about the tattoo on his chest saying, "DIE, BART, DIE" to which he replies, "Oh that, why that's German for 'die Bart, die'. A juror is overheard saying, "Well, anyone who speaks German can't be evil."

Originally posted by neonpeon41Rats, I didn't get your reference. I thought you were going for the scene in Memento where the protagonist (played by Guy Pierce, can't remember the characters name) is seeing the photo of himself pointing to the tattoo on his chest supposedly after already killing the man he thought killed his wife. So of course, I shot back with the reference to the tattoo on his hand (same movie) that says "remember sammy jankis" and twisted it to the Cubs reference of "remember sammy sosa"
Yes, I do.

Originally posted by neonpeon41I thought he said 'vie, Bart, vie" which he interpreted as Live, Bart, Live. Or maybe it's been too long since I've seen that episode. Great reference.
Yes, I do.
