1. How can you even ask???
The Cubs' Goat Curse contributed to my dad's early death and will probably kill both me and my brother off before our times, too!

2. None but the Goat
I can't wait to chow down on a goat burger when the Cubs break through. Whenever it happens.

5. Red Sox.
As a Minnesota Vikings fan, I can completely empathize. Us Vikings fans are in the same boat as BoSox fans.

6. The Cubs SUPPOSEDLY Got rid of their curse
By electrocuting "That Damn Ball" (the one that that poor guy interfered with) till it exploded. We'll see, SI Picked them as the favorite to win the World Series, But the SI Cover Jinx/Curse is the most lethal in all sports (and thats what gets my vote!!!)

11. Yuk, yuk! Seriously, I can't recall Chicago being in a position like the
Red Sox when they really, really, really, really should have won--1975, 1947, 1986---it was their's for the taking, yet they let it slip away!

12. The CURRENT Yankee curse of 2001...

the Red Sox curse will look like a small jaunt in the park by comparison. Spankme fans of 2001 should never have said they deserve to win the World Series in 2001 because of SEP-11.

By the time they win another World Series half the teams in MLB will have won 27 World Series,

16. Black Sox curse?
I'm a White Sox fan and it's not really a curse when fans of the team don't even acknowledge it exists. Our players just gambled - we didn't trade anyone away or piss off a guy with a goat, far more egregious crimes than mere gambling. :)
