Let's face facts: The Cubs and their friends to the east, the Red Sox, know all about losing. The Cubs haven't won the World Series since 1908 while the Red Sox were last crowned champions in 1918, interestingly enough beating the Cubs in six games. You must admit, it's been a painful time for each team since they last won a championship.
