108 years beats even-year magic

DeKALB | The last two Chicago Cubs games prove why fans need to believe in this team and forget the curse of the billy goat.

Entering the ninth inning of game four Tuesday evening, with the series tied at two games a piece there was a 97.5 percent chance of a game five occurring Thursday in Chicago, according to ESPN Baseball Tonight.

Yet, Chicago scored four runs to come away with the series victory and advance to the National League Championship Series for the second year in a row, proving 108 years is greater than the even-year magic.
