I must say, i hardly watch baseball, fan of the other 3 sports, but I just had to watch that game. It was history in the making. The Yankees blew it and their 100 million salary. who knows, maybe the CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED, CURSE HAS BEEN LIFTED.

this world series is really set up to be something special
it should be an absolute slugfest all the way, although i think the sox do have the advantage with a better pitching staff. on the subject of the curse, that is really something that red sox fans dont think about at all. it is an easy way for the networks to define red sox nation, not a way that red sox nation defines itself. the people from the boston area who believe in the curse are the same people who wonder when clemens left the team. |

Exactly....the whole curse thing is a bunch of bullshit, started by Dan Shaugnessey in the late 1980's. He wrote a book after the crushing 1986 series loss to the Mets, proclaimed there was a curse on Boston because of the Ruth trade, and that was that. The curse is a tool used by sportswriters to fill their columns, and no real sox fan believes it.

on the sox or cardinals question, let me start by saying that i'm a lifelong sox fan, so my opinion is obvioulsy biased, but, here some thoughts...
francona really screwed up by putting pedro in during game seven of the yankees series....pedro was originally going to go Game 1 of the series....now we have to throw Wakefield. That is not an even tradeoff. The Cardinals lineup scares the hell out of me, and I do not want to go to St louis tied 1-1, giving them a chance to win out at home....where they are undefeated so far in the playoffs, and, if im not mistaken, had the best home record in the league this year. that being said.....SOX in 6...its out year baby |

while i agree with you that we want pedro pitching as much as possible in the series, i have a lot of faith in wakefield. i think that if he has a good start in game one, which i wouldnt put past him at all, it could really mess with the cards bats for the whole series.
while i would love to see the sox take down this series easily, i think it will be a battle. i think the perfect scenario is the sox winning in six, with me watching the game in the cask and flagon, then going on a bender for the next couple of days. the pats super bowl wins will look like a pop warner championship compared to a sox win in boston. |
