CHICAGO — Sometimes, numbers can matter.
It may be a stretch, but for the most superstitious among us, Wednesday night’s wild-card game start time could bode well for the Chicago Cubs.
The Cubs are set to play the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road. Start time for first pitch: 7:08 central, or 19:08 military time.
The last time the Cubs won the World Series? 1908.
Is your mind blown yet?
If not, how’s this: Wednesday is Oct. 7, or 10/7.
It has been 107 years since the Cubs last won the World Series.
Coincidence, or sign of greater things to come?
Here’s to hoping these theories or superstitions come to fruition, as the Cubs look to win their first playoff game since 2003 — and first World Series in more than 100 years.
