However, now that the Cubs got swept by the Dodgers, some Cubs fans are wondering whether he accidentally cursed the 2008 Cubs instead. Greanias, who is from St. Iakovos Church, traveled from his Valparaiso home to do the exorcism. With the way the Cubs played in the regular season, it didn’t appear as if they needed to be exorcised.

Are Cubs fans overreacting to getting ousted from the playoffs yet again or is there something more to this supposed curse? Here is the Reverend Father James Greanias video:

The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cubs on Saturday to successfully complete a 3-0 sweep. The Dodgers, who won the game 3-1, will move on to face the winner of the Philadelphia Phillies and the Milwaukee Brewers series. The Phillies currently lead that series 2-1.

The video of the Cubs getting swept will be hard for Cubs fans to stomach. Rich Harden, who the Cubs traded for in the middle of the season, was unimpressive — lasting only 4.1 innings. Alfonso Soriano was 0-5 and hit just .071 in the series.

For the Dodgers, their main star was starting pitcher Hiroki Kuroda. Kuroda, who was born in Japan, pitched 6.1 scoreless innings and also struck out four cubs. Manny Ramirez was 1-for-2 with two walks and a run, while James Looney had two big RBIs.

Luckily for the Cubs and their fans, there is always next year.
