Chica Go, Chicago!

..and uses the National Pasttime to do it!

I'm breathless with it all.

Do you remember when the Chicago Cubs baseball team lost in the playoffs and blamed that kid that “interfered” with the game when he reached out and caught a fly ball, turning it from a sure out into a foul ball? Everyone expected death threats for the kid, etc. The Cubs winning anything big is as unseemly as straight men taking cultural and fashion clues out in the open from gay men. I mean really.

So very recently, the ball itself turned up on eBay, and someone bought it for approx $106,000. Yes, no decimal points.

The man who bought it was a close friend of longtime Cubs announcer Harry Caray, and has decided to solicit proposals on the proper way to destroy the ball.

So our Friends in the Midwest have fashioned themselves a voodoo doll, creating a cultural golem so that they can murder it in hopes, one would suppose, of removing the longtime Curse of the Cubs.

Extraordinary! And well done, folks! I knew you had it in you.
