Cubs reverse goat curse

[CatintheHeat]

3 Cubs fans bought a ticket for a goat and tried to get him into Minute Maid Park before the Astros game with the Giants and were denied admission. They then put a reverse curse on the Astros.

The Reverse Curse:

Two years shy of sixty cursed
For all this time the cubs were worse
Armed with goat and mystic verse
We hereby reverse the curse
You had your chance to let him in
But now no more will the Astros win
We’ll take our goat we’ll leave this place
Along with your hopes in the pennant race


Right after the curse was chanted, a rainbow was spoted in Chicago. The Astros were tied in the ninth when Billy Wagner gave up 3 runs and the Giants won.

It aint gonna work. The Stros are going to prevail!! They'll lose in the first round of the playoffs, but they'll get there.

I agree that things aren't looking good for the Cubs now. The weather Gods haven't helped either. If the Cubs pitch Prior and Clement on Saturday and Wood on Sunday, who will they pitch on Monday, if the race gets that far. Estes? Cruz?

The Cubs have the superior starting rotation, but that is it. Houston has a well balanced team in pitiching, hitting, and fielding.

I was just kidding around because I'm a Stros fan. It's going to be close but I think Houston blew their wad and have to start their second tier pitchers this weekend while Chicago gets to rely on two of the best in the game.
