I consider the Chicago Cubs a brother to the Red Sox, for many reasons.
#1 Exceptionally long World Series Championship drought.
#2 Very Old Ball Park filled with baseball history and character.
#3 Stubornly loyal baseball fans!
#4 The curse! We had the curse of the Bambino, they have the Curse of the Billy Goat.
#5 Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer, they brought greatness to Boston, they can do the same for Chicago!
#6 Ownership is dedicated to building a winner, we can see they are putting resources to establishing a championship team.

If my Red Sox don't win, I would love to see the Cubs break the curse!
