I predict that a Red Sox/Cubs World Series would cause the universe to collapse, or something at least as bad. It is just not meant to be for either team.

I think if one or the other were to beat any other team then the universe would clearly collapse or at least be the point in space/time of the conclusion of the expansion of the universe and its reversion to the next big bang. But the fact that they might face each other - and only one of the otherwise loser franchises of all time win - raises the prospect of anti-matter coming into harmony with matter and that reversion being denied cosmologically with the effect of the unending three-beer buzz for eternity. That is what is cool about it.

I would like to point out that the universe protected itself - and baseballs basic rules have been kept in place (Sox Implode With Might - Cubs Lose)

Thank you, Isaac. Thank you for that one extra noogie to the shoulder where it feels like I have been noogies 27,492 times in a row this morning.

Hey, as a fan of a hopeless team (Baltimore) - its my job to mock the other other hopeless teams.

Was it Eddy Murphy in the early 80's that tricked you, perhaps Cal Ripken Jr?<p>Baltimore is one of my favorite places never visited. Setting for <i>Homicide: Life on the Street</i>; winner of the Grey Cup, though a third as often as Kingston via Queens University in the 20's; and birthplace of Mencken who describes the 1890's city as having charity beer gardens where semi-uncorrupt cops served quarts of fresh draft from the cask along with bacon wrapped soft-shell crab on a bun from open braziers.

While I always loved Cal Ripkin Jr (who couldn't respect a talented workhorse like him) - it was the gift of a beautiful Orioles Baseball cap as a kid that did it for me.

The late 90's were a tough couple of years in the playoffs for us - blowing series we should of won with our loaded teams.
