Bears in Wrigley! Why not goats?

In 1916 the head animal keeper at Lincoln Park Zoo brought a live bear cub to home plate inside Wrigley Field.  This was prior to the Cubs first game at Wrigley.  Why not take a goat to home plate in 2012?

Occupy Wrigley Field

Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement I am thinking of organizing an Occupy Wrigley Field Day, with goats of course.  I am thinking of surrounding Wrigley Field with as many goats as possible and remaining there until at least one goat is allowed into the stadium.  Unlike the Occupy Wall Street protests our Occupy protest will have a purpose.  The purpose is to get one or many goats into Wrigley Field to reverse the curse on the Cubs.  We are protesting the futility of the Cubs ability to win a World Series in 103 years!  It will take a bit of planning to organize such an event.  We will need fresh water, hay, and grain for all the goats.  We should also consider having mineral mix and baking soda available for our beloved goats.  Once the logistics are worked out I am convinced Occupy Wrigley will be a grand success!

Cubs hire new manager.

The Cubs have hired Dale Sveum to a 3 year deal as their manager.  He was the third base coach with the Red Sox in 2004 when they won their first World Series since 1918.  I hope he can be as successful with the Cubbies.  Dale has been with the Brewers for the past several years.  Now the Cubs need to find some decent players.

A little Cubs Trivia

The only season the Cubs didn't finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the National League during the 1930's was 1939. They finished in 4th place that year with a record of 84-70.
