The Cubs proved how childish and ancient baseball is.
It's Not The Billy Goat's Fault You Sucked For 106 Years
A HR ball hit by rookie Kyle Schwarber -- which clinched a berth in the NLCS on Tuesday -- landed on top of the right-field video scoreboard. That’s where it will remain for the duration of the postseason.
"It's the first year of the video scoreboards; it's the first year the Cubs have ever clinched at home; and it's the first time someone has hit a ball up there," Cubs spokesman Julian Green said Wednesday morning, per ESPN.

...and?
Will luck somehow be on the Cubs' side for the duration of the postseason because a baseball is sitting on top of a video board? Will Anthony Rizzo’s .167 batting average somehow improve? Will Jason Hammel last more than three innings?
If the Cubs win the World Series, Theo Epstein goes to the Hall of Fame, right? He would have turned the 2 "cursed" MLB teams into champs.

The baseball that landed on top of your parent’s house didn’t miraculously drop the mortgage payment, so don’t expect Schwarber’s ball to somehow eviscerate 100-plus years of ineptitude.
Then again, these are the Cubs -- the franchise that believes a man with glasses and a goat are responsible for a 106-year World Series drought.
The Cubs are not cursed or unlucky. They were horribly ran & managed for most of the last 106 years.
