We're just hours away from the Cubs opening their playoff series with the Dodgers. On ESPN's SportsCenter, "writer"/personality Rick Reilly had some fun toying with Cubs fans' emotions and the Cubs streak of "curses." Like Bill Simmons, we think curses are nothing more than gimmicks used to rile up fans and sell papers and books, but it's worth a look, if only for the historical aspect. The piece seems to be tongue-in-cheek and, well, we guess our posting of it means it worked.
