I think it’s Marisa Miller who jinxed the Cubs, just like Amanda Beard did for the Angels … and Nicolette Sheridan will for the Dodgers….

I really don’t think the Cubs curse needs the help of SI.

You can not pick and choose when and how a Jinx will hit you. 20 times on the cover, so what. 100 years of not winning was established long before Sports Illustrated hit the news stand. You win and you loose, every year some more than others. They have numerous times when they did not appear on the cover of SI and still managed to not win or not make the playoffs. So maybe the bigger curse is not making the cover at all.

[...] Why does Sports Illustrated continue to do this to the Cubs. Over at homerderby.com they have a wonderful piece on the different Cubs SI covers and what has happened directly after [...]

I hope it’s a jinx. I don’t want to see Soriano’s cocky-a$$ and the Great Blue Horde of drucken fans in Wrigleyville on tv for any longer that I have to.

Maybe the Cubs will be OK after all; the jinx got the address wrong and headed to the South Side instead?
