Dead goat found hanging on Wrigley Harry Caray statue :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Metro & Tri-State (http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/1524080,w-dead-goat-wrigley-field-cubs-curse-041309.article - broken link)

Looks like some folks are commenting on the curse of the Billy Goat by hanging one of the little fellas from the Harry Carey statue outside of Wrigley...

Charming, huh?

That has happened a few times in the past.

I bet a SOX fan did it this time though.

I've heard conflicting reports that it was a goats head and some say it was the entire goats body...

hmmmm, the mystery.

wtf

I found a goat head once with weird confetti on Argyle and the Chicago river.

I think it was some sort of ritual.

I'm a little confused by the motive... Is it a Cubs fan sacrificing a goat to ward off the Billy Goat Curse, or is it someone making fun of the Cubs? Either way, it's just stupid, and I hope no one harmed a goat for a ridiculous prank like this.

Well, it was probably some redneck Cards fan from rural Missouri.
