Harsh title right? Well, I'm pretty sure I truly feel this way (in baseball terms at least). Mac threw out the first pitch last night at the Cubs-White Sox games at U.S. Cellular Field. Back during the 2003 NLCS (the "Bartman Game" for those of you who won't let it go), Mac sang "Take Me Out To The Ball Game". However, Mac chose to be creative with the lyrics "root root root for the Cubbies" and went with "root root root for the champions" (as the Cubs were six outs from going to their first World Series since 1945). If you don't know how the game ended...the Cubs would go on to lose and Mac admitted to being a life long White Sox fan and called the Cubs the champions in order to jinx them.However, I did a little investigative research to see who the real jinx is in this situation. Here's a look at what the Cubs have done since 2003:
2004: 89-73 (3rd place)
2005: 79-83 (4th place)
2006: 66-96 (6th place)
2007: 85-77 (1st place)
Now, a look at what Bernie Mac has done since 2003:

Yeah, there is a curse going on--then again, Mac just might be suffering from a case of being a terrible actor with one gear (angry black guy). Anyhow, no real point to this post. More of an excuse to post the picture above from last night's game.
