Am I the only Red Sox fan who has the sinking feeling of "Gee, it was...

[joeybee12]

...nice while it lasted."?????

Admit it, deep in your hearts you know they'll never, ever win it.

1. YUP

c'mon!! we got the NEXT THREE AT HOME!

Cowboy UP DAMMIT!!

[JohnKleeb]

2. Get them fuckers good Boston

:hi: only a Red Sox fan now, rest of the year I am a Baltimore fan. I hate the yankees a lot.

[joeybee12]

4. How old are you? If you don't mind me asking?

I think I may be older, and therefore have a longer history of bitterness and defeat--you may still be too young and falsely believe there is hope! There isn't!

[DS1]

18. He's older than me

:7

[DS1]

15. YUP

What are you, a Dem watching voting results on the news?

7. Get thy negativity behind thee

9. Being a Vikings fan

I know EXACTLY how you feel !!!

[MaineDem]

10. Sox fans don't give up this easily

I mean, come on!

And I'm probably older than you.

[joeybee12]

12. Unless you were born in 1917, then you have no right having hope!

I really think there's a curse. Game Six in 1986 made me a believer!

[MaineDem]

16. I'm sure you didn't mean to come across as rude

I have hope...I believe what I want. Maybe I just took your post the wrong way.

Anyhow, I've been a fan for many many years and I think the curse is ridiculous. And I'll still be a fan even if I have to say "wait til next year" again this year. It's been a terrific season. it's been a lot of fun. That's what it's all about to me.

[joeybee12]

23. It was meant satirically!

Really, I just have no hope any more. I don't see it ever happening.

[MaineDem]

29. I'm sorry

I guess I just read it wrong. :)

Don't give up. Enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts. There are 3 games at home...it's looking good!

[ProudGerman]

17. Game six blah blah blah

Wasn't there a whole game seven that had to be lost too?

[denverbill]

11. Didn't some guy drag that piano out of a swamp to end the curse?

Or some damned story like that?

[joeybee12]

13. There was some hocu-pocus about trying to end it...

...but Bill Stanley was right--the only way to end it is to dig up Babe Ruth's body and apologize to him!

[ProudGerman]

14. The curse of the Bambino is over

There were many instances in the first game that if the curse of the Bambino was still active, they would have gone the other way in favor of the Yankees. Boston went into the house that Ruth built, and soundly beat the Yankees.

No matter which team wins this series, the curse is over.

[JohnKleeb]

19. That doesnt mean anything that they started out strong

Remember when they were 13 and a half games ahead in first place. The curse doesnt immidentially come in to affect.

[Uzybone]

22. LOL.....what instances

Mussina was walking guys left and right. Giambi was swinging at pitches thrown at his cap level, the rest of the Yanks just plain sucked. Boston had to win that game. Now Game 2, with thier 7 men on base and 1 run in 2 innings tells me that the curse (or whatever the fuck it is) is alive and well.

[Uzybone]

20. an honest Red Sox fan

at least you know its over. It was a good run.

[Bake]

21. The curse is over? NOT!

That's why you all have that sinking feeling, even the ones that won't 'fess up to it! You know it's there. It's the Curse.

Same for the Cubbies. No one knows disappointment like Red Sox and Cubs fans. This whole thing was just to see how pumped up you could get before you were/are slammed back to reality.

MWAAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAAA!!

Bake
I Feel Your Pain

[Braden]

26. I agree NOT

never was and never will be a curse.

Its a ploy to sell books and to make yankee fans show off their grade school quality art and scrapbooking skills.

[Alex88]

24. Curse, bolderdash.

It took a great Big Red machine, with prior world series experience, to deny the 1975 Boston Redsox the Championship, and 7 games to do it.

[Braden]

25. good god,. one loss and you are falling apart?

snap to Joeybee12. The Sox are coming home with Pedro on the hill, looking to go up 2-1. Did you think the sox would sweep? Its not going to be easy but they are going to win this thing.

[joeybee12]

30. Sorry, but there's too much history on my side to have hope

And how did "cowboy up" come about? I've heard of "pony up."

[SiobhanClancy]

27. I've got the opposite feeling...

with all the bad stuff happening in the world,it's time for something WONDERFUL!:)

[Braden]

28. I'm with you

Nothing is more exciting to me as a baseball fan than the thought of the Red Sox sipping champagne in the Bowels of Yankee Stadium.
