Chicago Cubs almost pull off rare feat with back-to-back no hitters

Have you ever watched the movie Fever Pitch? You know, the one where Jimmy Fallon plays a die hard Boston Red Sox fan. Well, there’s a time in the movie where it talks about the team playing with a fan’s heart and emotions. Right now, the Chicago Cubs are doing just that. The Cubs are riding high after Sunday’s no-hitter by Carlos Zambrano and near no-hitter by Ted Lilly.

But we all know, this is the Cubs we are talking about (billy goat, black cat, Steve Bartman…). So, when will they implode? Sure, the Cubs are well on their way to a postseason appearance, yet we all have to wonder will it be the divisional round the the NLCS before they show us why they earned the nickname of the ‘Lovable Losers.’ Or, would Chicago pull the ultimate heartbreak on a Cubs fan by making it all the way to the World Series before turning into the team everyone expects to lose?

With only a couple of weeks left in the regular season, we won’t have to wait long to find out what the next chapter of Cubs’ history will look like. But, we can only guess it won’t turn out favorable for those poor fans that have waited so long for a winner.
