This Is What 107 Years Without A World Series Title Looks Like

Another year, another victory for the billy goat.
|

On freaking "Back to the Future" day of all days, the Chicago Cubs were denied a spot in the World Series , again. It's been 107 years without an MLB championship for the Cubs and 70 years since the team last made the World Series. That stings.

There's a lot of sadness in Chicago this morning. We feel for you, Cubs fans.
