We're using a combination of pressure, heat and explosives in this bulletproof tank to destroy that ball so it will not resemble a ball at all when we're finished," Lantieri said earlier

bulletproof tank was to make sure snipers were discouraged.

These people are crazy.

As a life long Cubs fan ( can still name the entire 69 starting lineup by heart!) I immediately had that horrible sinking feeling. I hoped against hope, but I KNEW they were gonna blow it.

On the brighter side, my T shirt idea is still viable:

I very much hope that thing about the National League championship is going to play out the way you want it to

Darn, it's almost a tagline

Where are Alec Baldwin, Danny Glover, Ed Asner, Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, et al., to protest?

I wonder how much that ball would've been worth in ten or twenty years?

I am a Phillies fan however, I do feel bad for you guys. Anyway, if you want to break the curse the Cubs should get a Priest to perform an excorcism on the team and get it removed. Good luck.
