The Marlins Got Lou Piniella's Goat

Lou PiniellaAt this point we're all more than familiar with the "curse" of the Chicago Cubs. More specifically, the Billy Goat curse. It's one of those stories that are never going to die until the Cubs finally win a World Series, and one that people will always pull out to have a bit of fun at the Cubs expense.

The Marlins did this recently, having their mascot Billy the Marlin -- because why wouldn't a marlin be named Billy -- parade a goat in front of the Cubs dugout while they were in Miami last weekend. While it was all in good fun, not everybody seemed to find it very humorous. First and foremost, Cubs skipper Lou Piniella.

Dead Goat Found Hanging From Harry Caray Statue Outside Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs will be having their home opener at Wrigley Field on Monday afternoon, or at least they're hoping to. You see, the weather in Chicago right now includes a lot of rain in the area all day, so there's a pretty good chance that the game may be rained out. If this does happen, you can be sure that there will be some Cubs fans making the joke, or being serious, that this is the latest omen of the curse against the team.

Of course, Opening Day rainouts can only happen to the Cubs because they're cursed. (It's not like Opening Day for the White Sox was snowed out or anything.) This sounds incredibly stupid, I know, but there are Cubs fans who would actually believe it to be true. They believe in Billy Goat curses and Steve Bartman, and now these same fans (morons?) also apparently believe that hanging dead goats from Harry Caray statues will bring a World Series to Chicago.
