Will The Cat Curse Strike Again?

In 1969, a black cat ran past Old Cub Ron Santo at Shea Stadium as he knelt in the on-deck circle. The Cubs went on to lose the game, and ended up pulling off a September choke job that was impressive even by Cub standards.

Last night, a black cat ran out onto the field at The Shrine Up North, probably to escape the piss smells in the bathrooms and/or avoid being ground up and served as hot dog meat to drunken Yuppies. This just after the Cubs went on their damned West Coast tear last week. So here's hoping that this little kitty cat has the same effect as Black Cat I, Sam Sianis's goat, Steve Bartman, and all those other curses.

If it does, will they boil the kitty up and serve it in spaghetti sauce at Harry Caray's a la the Bartman ball?
