LouisvilleFan Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Ya'll know what today is? Opening day of goat hunting season! Referencing the case of Red Sox vs. Yankees, in the 2004 ALCS, in order to break a curse, the cursed team must overcome nearly improbable and downright humiliating odds in order to win a series and proceed to the World Series. Personally, I believe the embarrassing fashion in which we've lost these last two games [i]at home[/i] makes our current situation about equivalent to being down 0-3 in a best-of-seven series. All we have to do is sweep LA on the road. In beautiful SoCal. There are no goats in SoCal. Not to mention, the Marlins defeated us three games in a row to get to their World Series, so by no means is this impossible. I'm not predicting it, necessarily, but I believe it is a rite of passage that we must endure and defeat in order to break the Billy Goat Curse.

[/quote] Yeah... come back in 85 years... I was up there for a game just over a year ago, I think during the last series of the season. They played the Rangers. Apparently Sweet Lou isn't having any more luck with the Cubs in post-season play than he did with the Mariners.
