Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel pleaded for calm currently in the wake of news that somebody sent a severed goatas check out Wrigley Field. It simply happened on Wednesday, if the head a' resolved to Cubsa operator Tom Ricketts a' was provided in a box by a strange person in a pickup truck. Police were called and the top was taken in to evidence. Meanwhile this day, the Cubs themselves snapped in to action, answering the insult in spectacular fashion: they blew a five-run lead and dropped to the Giants, 7-6. (Appropriate sound influence here). As you know, the longest continuous problem in sports may be the aCurse of the Billy Goata, starting in 1945 when Billy Goat Tavern manager Billy Sianis was kicked out of a Cubsa World Series game for bringing along his pet goat. The story is that one of them stunk so badly that supporters were worrying, and both were expected to leave just to make certain. Sianis is said to have replied: aThem Cubs ainat gonna get no more.a And they havenat: no National League pennants since. Put into their 104-year streak of zero world finals, thatas a big stinking pile of goat cheese in the windy city. It also offers a great metaphor for Cubsa fans who are wailing and gnashing their teeth over a great number of perceived injustices. That came to a (sorry) on Wednesday, when somebody dropped off the head at Gate K at Wrigley Field. Possible fitted label: aGoat continued in next packagea. Our simply take? It was either a very poorly-planned ransom demand, or perhaps a notice to the group not to proceed with proposed changes to the arena. The Cubs are currently in negotiations with the town to increase how many night games, and install a Jumbotron. WGNTV: There was no note within the box, and police remain trying to find whoever slipped it off. The Chicago Tribune stories that the goat had a Department of Agriculture tag on its ear. Neither Ricketts nor the Cubs have commented. But Chicago mayor Emanuel has considered in: At an information conference today, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said he talked to Ricketts Wednesday evening and assured that police will need action. aThereas nothing else to state, it speaks for it self, itas inappropriate to do,a Emanuel told reporters. aI did call Tom yesterday, and said clearly that the authorities need to do anything, weall be on it.a No arrests have already been described but police are investigating the aintimidating package,a Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala said. Standard goat result here.
