Jealousy... one year without playoffs? Nothing.
You can't touch the history.
This is the one to watch.

Dear Chris - here's a story...
For the first time this season I found myself (on 2 occasions) cheering for the Yankees. It was a dirty feeling and I had to shower after, but that's not the point. The point is, look what happened.
Moral of this story: Cheering for the Yankees doesn't help.
Recommendation: Come back home. Big Papi wants to give you a bear hug.

Assuming that the ex-Cub Factor will rear its ugly head once again
this October, the Phillies have no chance. GM Pat Gillick surely had
no idea what he was doing when he added not one, but two (now) ex-Cubs
(Scott Eyre and Matt Stairs) to his roster in August, bringing his
team's Ex-Cub Factor to three (senior citizen Jamie Moyer being the
third). That's more than the Red Sox and Rays combined.
So, despite the fact the Cubs finished in first place for consecutive
years for the first time in a century AND held the league's best
record AND had no Ex-Cubs on their post-season roster, they still were
unable to end the Curse this season. Now the Phillies will have to pay
for it.
