A New Curse for Cubs and Red Sox Fans to Gripe About

Once again, the Chicago Cubs lose another game on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball. This of course is nothing new to the Cubs, as they have also lost another SNB game, a couple of months ago.
But here's a disturbing trend that I have noticed. In 2007, the Cubs are 2-5 when their games are shown on ESPN.
I find this trend to be disturbing, it seems like everytime the Cubs are on ESPN, they are always losing. They lost their fair share last year as well.
But they're not the only ones struggling on ESPN. The Boston Red Sox, yeah the team who broke their 'Bambino Curse' a couple years ago now have a new curse to worry about. Even though they're 2-1 on SNB, overall they are 5-8 when featured on ESPN.
One team who has fared well on ESPN has to be the Yankees. Even though they are struggling to stay with the Red Sox in the AL East, they are kicking ass on ESPN. They lead all teams with an 11-5 record on ESPN.
I'm not saying that if all three teams played on ESPN every game, that the Yankees would run away with the division and the Red Sox and Cubs would falter. Alll I am suggesting is to think about it.
Maybe it's just me, but the Cubs always struggle when they're on ESPN. Maybe you agree, maybe you don't.
