CHICAGO — Cursed by a Billy Goat, bedeviled by Bartman and crushed by decades of disappointment, the Chicago Cubs are at long last headed back to the World Series. Seeking their first title since 1908, the Cubs open the World Series at Cleveland on Tuesday night. We’re going to the World Series. Lester, a former World Series champion in Boston, was 1-0 with a 1.38 ERA in two starts against the Dodgers. The crowd joined in, chanting and serenading their team — a Cubs team, in fact, that lost 101 games as recently as 2012.
