The '''[[Chicago]] Cubs''' are an [[YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG|incredibly bad]] Major League Baseball team. This, on its own, would not warrant an [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]] [[article]], but when you couple the fact that the Cubs suck so bad with the fact that the team [[trolls]] their own [[Fandom|fans]], the whole subject gains new light. Not only do the Cubs rip the beating hearts out of their fan’s chests every year, they are also the subject of various blogs, forums, and websites where all you can hear are the wailings and moanings of their emotionally destroyed devotees. | |||
Whole [[Old Media|television shows]], [[The Internet is serious business|businesses]], and even [[Wicca|curses]] have been created to explain this phenomena, but the plain fact of the matter is that the Chicago Cubs will never win a World Series ever again…because God hates them. | |||
==Things That Have Happened in the 108 years between Cubs World series wins == | |||
[[File:Cubs 19.jpg|thumb|Lou Piniella, coach of the Chicago Cubs.]] | |||

==The Curse of the Billy Goat== | |||
Cubs fans, tired of lifting their arms to the heavens and asking [[God]] [[WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY|'''“WHY?”''']] have formulated several [http://baseball.suite101.com/article.cfm/the_chicago_cubs_curse_continues curses to explain] their team’s lack of winning. All of these curses, much like any other form of voodoo, are pure garbage. The real reason why the Cubs repeatedly suck is because their owners, front office, management, and players are all dumbshits. Seriously, spend some of that money you are bilking out of your fans and buy yourself a few good players. You may just win something. | |||

Latest revision as of 23:10, 22 August 2024
The Chicago Cubs are an incredibly bad Major League Baseball team. This, on its own, would not warrant an Encyclopedia Dramatica article, but when you couple the fact that the Cubs suck so bad with the fact that the team trolls their own fans, the whole subject gains new light. Not only do the Cubs rip the beating hearts out of their fan’s chests every year, they are also the subject of various blogs, forums, and websites where all you can hear are the wailings and moanings of their emotionally destroyed devotees.
Whole television shows, businesses, and even curses have been created to explain this phenomena, but the plain fact of the matter is that the Chicago Cubs will never win a World Series ever again…because God hates them.
Things That Have Happened in the 108 years between Cubs World series wins
- Radio was invented; Cub fans got to hear their team lose.
- TV was invented; Cub fans got to see their team lose.
- Baseball added 14 teams; Cub fans got to see AND hear their team lose to more teams.
- George Burns celebrated his 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th and 100th birthdays.
- Haley's Comet passed Earth... twice.
- Harry Caray was born... and died. Incredible, but true.
- The NBA, NHL and NFL were formed, and Chicago teams won championships in each league.
- The Chicago White Sox became the only "second" team for a city to outdo its primary team.
- Man landed on the moon, as have several home runs given up by Cubs pitchers.
- Sixteen US presidents were elected.
- There were 11 amendments added to the Constitution.
- Prohibition was created, and repealed.
- The Titanic was built, set sail, sank, was discovered, and became the subject of major motion picture.
- Flag poles were erected on Wrigley Field roof to hold all of the team's future World Series pennants. Those flag poles have since rusted and been taken down.
- A combination of 40 summer & winter Olympics have been held.
- Thirteen baseball players have won the Triple Crown; several thanked Cubs pitchers.
- Bell bottoms came in style, went out of style, and came back in style.
- The Cleveland Indians, Boston Red Sox, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Florida Marlins have ALL won the World Series.
- The Cubs played 14,153 regular-season games and have lost the majority of them.
- Alaska, Arizona, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and New Mexico were added to the Union.
The Curse of the Billy Goat
Cubs fans, tired of lifting their arms to the heavens and asking God “WHY?” have formulated several curses to explain their team’s lack of winning. All of these curses, much like any other form of voodoo, are pure garbage. The real reason why the Cubs repeatedly suck is because their owners, front office, management, and players are all dumbshits. Seriously, spend some of that money you are bilking out of your fans and buy yourself a few good players. You may just win something.
Ways to Rip the Beating Heart From the Chest of a Cubs Fan
- Be Steve Bartman, and blow the playoffs for your team.
- Hire Dusty Baker and then get rid of him.
- Hey Cubs fans…White Flags traditionally mean that you have given up.
- Mention that the 2005 World Series Champions were the Chicago White Sox.
- Win the pennant every three years and still fail to win the World Series.
- Tinker to Evers to Chance
- Show them a Black Cat at Shea Stadium.
- Remind them of the 1984 National League Championship series. Choke! Choke! Choke!
- Or this year.
- Or this year.
- Or this year.
- Or this year.
- Or this year.
- Or this year.
- File for bankruptcy
- Give Carlos Zambrano 91 million dollars
- I think it's time Milton looked at himself in the mirror.
- Put a huge billboard up in left field. Oh, and the sponsor is Toyota...double fail.
- Be ESPN or every baseball blog ever and predict them to win the awful NL Central, or if you're feeling especially trollface, tell them they'll win a pennant.
- Remind them they're leading the MLB's road attendance because people got tired of seeing the Yankees beat their home team.
