thursday 3 november 2016 chicago cubs go 24 hours without winning a world series 




fans are blaming <u+2018>some kind of curse<u+2019> for the cubs<u+2019> failure to win a single world series since yesterday.

infielder chris bryant, who answered the door to the peculiar crone, reported that he told her he felt they<u+2019>d got enough good luck already <u+2013> and then the witch told him <u+2018>a curse be on this place and all within!<u+2019> before vanishing in a cloud of stale, brimstone-scented smoke.

when told of the club<u+2019>s failure to bring home any silverware in almost 24 hours, fan simon williams looked up groggily and replied <u+201c>what? uh, oh god, here we go again.
