This is my most meatball-y, dumbass, superstition about the Cubs and yes I’m talking about Joe Girardi calling games on the Marquee Sports Network. Does he actually make the Cubs play worse when he’s in the TV booth? No, but also, the Cubs play like shit when he’s on Marquee. It happened last year and it’s happening again in 2024.
Right as the Cubs are getting on a roll, winning more often than not and gaining ground in the standings, they come back to Wrigley Field and Girardi is on Marquee killing the good vibes.
