Cubs threw 1918 WS to Red Sox?.... Maybe this is their curse and not the goat

CHICAGO—If Chicago has been willing to believe that a cow caused the Great Chicago Fire, maybe it will buy this one: The White Sox got the idea to throw the 1919 World Series after the Cubs did the same thing one year earlier.That's the suggestion -- more of a hint, really -- from Eddie Cicotte, one of the infamous Black Sox banned from baseball after their tainted World Series against Cincinnati.In a 1920 court deposition the Chicago History Museum recently put on its website, Cicotte said "the boys on the club" talked about how a Cub or a number of Cubs were offered $10,000 to throw the 1918 Series they lost 4-2 to the Boston Red Sox.

How stupid do you have to be throw a World Series if that is the case? Either way even if they did beat the Red Sox they would still have no World Series title since 1918 so its much of a big deal they still suck. Even if the Cubs threw the title I think the Red Sox would of still won they were clearly better in mind even if I wasn't thought of yet alone my parents, but still the Sox are better to begin with. Just face it the Cubs will never win everrrrrrr!

Even though it doesn't matter lets cheer for the Red Sox win even though its 90 years old.
