Chicago Cubs favored to win 2015 World Series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So reports Sports Illustrated.\u00c2\u00a0 A number of days ago.\u00c2\u00a0 Since that time… well, they’re in the hole and no longer favored to win the World Series.<\/p>\n

Who’s favored now?\u00c2\u00a0 Royals<\/a>, says one source.\u00c2\u00a0 Blue Jays<\/a>, another.\u00c2\u00a0 And at any rate, at 2 and 0 in the series, the Mets have moved ahead to being favored over the Cubs to appear in the World Series.<\/p>\n

Too bad.<\/p>\n

Oh, not for the sentimental “Cubs win for the first time … defeat the Curse of the Goat, and that one fan… Bart something — who managed to screw up their last National League Series with a fan interference calling back a home run…<\/p>\n

No.\u00c2\u00a0 Because… Back to the Future Part 2<\/a>!!<\/p>\n

Of course it’s just as well.\u00c2\u00a0 One… “Against Miami” is screwed up — Miami’s not in play, and Miami plays in the Cubs’ National League so wouldn’t be in the world series with them anyway and the team is called “Florida” anyways.<\/p>\n

And… Two.\u00c2\u00a0 Back to the Future day is October 21.\u00c2\u00a0 Major League Baseball managed to squeeze back the schedule a week or so since the movie premiered in 1989, so… the World Series winner won’t be decided for a week or so anyways.<\/p>\n

So… Screw the Cubs after all.\u00c2\u00a0 Sure, they coulda been contenders and make Back to the Future prescient… but it would have been an incomplete match anyways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
