Today’s a big day for the Chicago Cubs — and for all of us Cubs fans! The playoffs start today, and the Cubs are hosting the Dodgers at good ole Wrigley Field.

I’m excited, yes, and terrified. I’ll be watching, cheering … and shaking nervously.

It’s been 100 years since the Cubs have won the World Series.

Are the Cubs cursed? And do I secretly like it that way? Yikes! I don’t even wanna go there.

Sports Illustrated writer Rick Reilly, who I enjoy, recently created a funny video about the Cubs’ curse. I thought I’d post it here as a way of defying the curse, like “Hey, Curse, you don’t scare me … I can laugh about you cause I know you don’t exist.” (You don’t exist, do you?)

Update: unfortunately the video I originally posted here is no longer available from ESPN.com.
