What curse did the Cavs break? And when did it begin?

Cleveland sports curse. 1964

I have always found it peculiar that some people greatly prefer to see others hopes crushed vs seeing other's hopes realized. Do you think it is evidence of some void in these peoples own lives?

*Cavs *Cubs *Cubs' *Cubs *Cubs

and if the wind's blowing in, it'll be blowing in for the other team too

Ineptitude ain't a curse.

Bruh, wwwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy to early to talk about this stuff. Please return for an erudite discussion on this topic in mid-August.

Have you noticed the CLEVELAND INDIANS have reeled off 12 straight wins ,their longest winning streak since 1951?

Now that the curse is broken, they may never lose again.

With the NBA being done, there's nothing else in sports to watch or talk about. This thread will get bumped along the way to October.

Have you been around Cubs fans? They're beyond obnoxious. Ask any White Sox fan.

Well, we all know how this is gonna end.

I can get on board with that.

St Louis will make the wildcard on the last week of the season, then beat the Cubs in round 1.

Go back to the south side you wretched slug.

Cubs writer hoping Cubs will follow Cavs & break the curse. The hope is building.

But the days are already getting shorter & autumn is fast approaching. And we know what happens in fall in Chicago. But maybe not this year.

5 outs to go....

People remember me, not -

Alex Gonzales - flubbing the the double-play grounder

Mark Prior - blowing up after foul ball

Kyle Farnsworth - big hangovers going into that game and the next

Moises Alou - was it really Bartman or the brick wall you were afraid of?

Dusty Baker - hey bro, ever think of calming down the prize baby starting pitcher?

Cubs were swept by the Mets. The same team who swept them in the NLCS.

Cubs still have the best record in MLB though.

About to set an All-Star game record with their entire infield making the team.

They did it! 1st team since the 63 Cardinals to have their entire infield start in the All-Star game. Only the 2nd team ever. Who can beat these Cubs?

Make hay in May, swoon in June, die in July.
