When I was 9 years old watching Game 5 of the 1984 NLCS, I remember thinking that if I could just concentrate hard enough, I could make the Cubs win that game. That somehow I could influence the action on the field and change the outcome of the game. Let's just say I concentrated so hard I had a pretty good welt on my forehead when the game was over.
My coworker started out the year 0-7 attending Cubs games, but since has rolled off about 3 or 4 straight wins. So going into this weekend, I and my fellow Cub fans are trying to figure out what combination of superstitions will pull this thing out for the Cubbies. I was 3-0 wearing my brand new Cubs cap but am now 3-1. Maybe it only works when they are at home.
It's figuring out these little mysteries of Sports faith that make being a fan so much fun or so painful.
Go Cubs.
