This just in.... After the loss today to the Los Angeles Dodgers the Cub Organization has asked Major League Baseball to change its schedule to all home games. The Cubs are currently 26-8 at the friendly confines of Wrigley Field and feel it is only fair that they play the rest of their games there to ensure they get to the World Series. They believe there is a archaic baseball rule very rarely used that states if a team hasn't won a World Series game in 100 years and they have the best record in baseball as of June 1st, they can change their schedule.
Baseball historians are busily trying to refute this but so far have had no luck. If you are a baseball fan you know that there are baseball gods who make decisions of this magnitude, but no one has come forward yet to refute the Cubs claim. Whats for sure is the Cubs don't play well on the road and this could seriously put their pennant chances in jeopardy if they have to play the full schedule on the road as scheduled. And also, that the baseball gods hate the Cubs.
One benefit to baseball would be that the Cubs would break the all time attendance record, because we know if the Cubs played all 162 games at home their fans would come out everyday to see them, or to meet their friends, or to meet their business associates, or to pick up chicks, whatever it is that Cubs fans do at the ballpark.
