"It's like the ring from 'The Lord of the Rings' and we're kind of like Frodo, trying to get it over with,"

As I recall, Frodo hurled the ring into the fires of Mount Doom. Wouldn't the more symbolic thing to do in this case, then, have been to hurl the ball into the icy depths of Lake Michigan?

That way, they might have been able to retrieve it in 100 years... or when the Cubs finally win, whichever comes first... hehe

Bartman had not been expected to attend the event.

Wise choice...................

If they keep it in the container, might not be that much difference, though I'd guess less than they paid for it in any event.

Added Maddox, the guru, to the starting rotation. A good scource of info and leadership for the young pitchers. This is going to be THE year! The demons have been exorcised...

Here's the pic taken right down the fou line that conclusively shows that Bartman committed fan interference, and that the ump blew the call...

The Cubs will still suck.

I'd rather eat worms than root for the Cubs.

It's not dead. It's just pining for the ball park.

Now that the ball is in shreds, they need to chop up the pieces, feed it to a goat, and bury the goat's crap in center field at Wrigley.

That should do the trick

Considering it took 77 years for the Phillies to win it all in 1980 and now the Cubs are far worse . . .
