The *REAL* explanation for the Cubs loss last night

[Walt Starr]

SALEM, MA - Local spiritual authorities have confirmed that during the seventh inning stretch of the Cubs - Marlins game last night, an appearance above Wrigley Field was made by what can only be described as a Demon Billy Goat from Hell (aka DBGfH).

The DBGfH circled high above the field throughout the bottom half of the seventh. After the first out in the top of the eighth, the DBGfH seemed to hover over Left Field.

When a pop fly was obviously going out of play and Moises Alou was preparing to jump for the ball, the DBGfH entered the body of an as yet unidentified Cubs fan.The possessed fan moved his hand into the way of Alou's glove, blocking any cahnce for a catch and an easy out.

"I could see the evil black aura enter that poor man," said one spiritually aware Cubs fan. "It was like everything was going to become VERY VERY black. It could only be a Demon Billy Goat from Hell!"

That was not the end of the DBGfH's reign of terror on Cubs fans. It could be seen by those with spiritual awareness that the DBGfH was interfering with the game all over the field, helping Marlins batters, and at one point possessing the body of Alex Gonzales, the Cubs Shortstop, causing an error which may well have cost the Cubs the game.

Officials are working on methods to keep the DBGfH from making a reappearance in the crucial seventh game of the NLCS.

Homeland Security officials were investigating this as a possible terrorist event until a phone call was made from the governor's mansion of Florida to the White House, after which all investigations of the supernatural event were closed.

I propose all cub fans around the world invite a goat to watch the next game with them in their living rooms. Ask a goat and don’t take NoOOOoooOOOO for an answer

3. The guy who owns the billy goat was on CNN with him.

Is there a bar by that name? It was kind of weird, the guy just kept talking.

Yes, there is a Billy Goat tavern, on the lower Michigan Avenue. Back in the day, it was the liquid lunch stop for Chicago's news writers, stumbling distance from both the Tribune and Sun-Times.
It was made famous in numerous Mike Royko columns, and the SNL sketch referenced in my subject line.
The owner was William "Billy Goat" Sianis, the fan that tried to bring his goat into the 1945 series and was turned away.

I don't know who they had on CNN. I just saw Phil Cavarretta, who played for the 1945 Cubs.

Sam Sianis, the current owner of the Billy Goat, and nephew of "Billy Goat" Sianias, has been keeping a low profile since the end of the season, and had no comment on the three Cubs fans that went to Houston to reverse the curse. Sam himself unsucessfully tried twice in the eighties. If he showed up on CNN to promote his place I wouldn't be surprised.
