Curse of Guillen

So it's come to this...

The Marlins play the Cubs tonight to see who represents the Senior Circuit in this year's World Series. As I've stated to many, many people, this year my mantra for the playoffs has been "Anyone but the Cubs!". So this would seem to be a slam-dunk series for me, I should become an adopted Fish-Fan. Right?

Well, not so fast... you see, there is the little matter of the Curse of Guillen. It may not be the Curse of the Bambino, but as far as I'm concerned, it's up there.

You see, I have been able to trace a bad period in my life right down to the point where Matty and I went to Old Chicago, and instead of getting a picture of a famous Chicago athlete in our booth, we got... Ozzie G, lookin' all cheesy in a White Sox BP jersey.

(And it didn't help that he spent that particular post-season sucking it up for my Braves).

You may call me crazy, and to that I'd ask you... Where the hell have you been? We established that a long time ago. In any case, I'll be cheering for the Marlins tonight, but I ask you all to keep a wary eye on #13 for the road squad. He's devious, and I don't want him to curse you too! I look out for my readers. All five of you.

I'm out. Tchuss.
