The Curse Lives!

[joeybee12]

As a life-long Red Sox fan, it pains me to say it.

But try and deny it now!

I am NOT a fair-weather fan, I choose to root for no other team.

But there is a curse and we are doomed to eternal disappointment!

[Blitz]

1. Yup

Give up now ... :)

[Droopy]

2. I don't believe in the curse

I'm not a supersticious person. I think the Sox have got what it takes to make it to the Series this year and i hope they make it.

[joeybee12]

3. I didn't believe in the curse until 1986

There's no other explanation for Game 6.

[stopbush]

17. No, Game 6 proved there wasn't a God

otherwise the BoSox AND the Mets would have both lost that series (I know...but if you believe in a god, then you believe in miracles).

[FarLeftRage]

4. No....

Boston versus Chicago in the World Series.

Boston winning in the seventh game.

[Submariner]

5. NO! we just can't beat the MONEY that Steinbrenner

can put together to build his team. It's not a curse.

[Uzybone]

7. nonsense

you have the second best paid team in baseball. Stop whining about money. Get some players with heart.

[joeybee12]

8. The curse is tied to money!

The Red Sox owner traded the Babe to the Yankees for money to invest in a musical production, which bombed.

[stopbush]

18. I think the curse is tied to Fenway

even Ted Williams said it was a shithole.

Your luck may change once that Green Monstrosity is torn down and your new ballpark opens.

[Blitz]

19. Nah

The curse is tied to the Big Dig. No titles for the Sox until it's completed (in other words, not in your lifetime or mine).

[Blitz]

13. That's the spirit!!

You can't win ... just keep reminding yourself of that :) .

6. Where was this post

when Boston was one loss away from being knocked out. Good god the Yankees are only up 2-1.

[joeybee12]

9. This was the pivotal game

They may still beat the Yankees, but mark my word, they'll lose in 7 in the World Series. Ever since 1918 when they've made it ot the world Series they've lost in 7--not 6--not 5--not 4, but 7.

It's a curse!

[Blitz]

11. Don't worry

They're not getting anywhere near the World Series this year. they'll be lucky to play another game outside of Boston.

[Blitz]

10. The real question is, who will be the next Boston great

to win a championship with the Yankees (the 1923 Yankees - the first Yankee team to win a championship - had ELEVEN former Red Sox players on its roster)?

Babe Ruth

Bobby Ojeda (OK, he was with the Mets)
Wade Boggs
Roger Clemens
Nomah?
Manny? (nah, we don't want him)
Who?

I mean, we can only use the A's as our AAA team for so long ...

12. I got another one for you

Red Ruffing totally blew as a Red Sox but kicked ass as a yankee and is a hall of famer as a result.

[Blitz]

14. Yup

The Yankees dynasty of the 20's was built on former Boston players. The Yankees are evil imperialists ... I love it.

[JohnKleeb]

22. ha you admit it lol

[HuckleB]

15. Actually...

The curse is about blowing leads in playoff series. It may not have any power over the Sox, if they're playing from behind.

[joeybee12]

16. If you don't believe in the curse, the Red Sox are doomed--you must believ

We must realize there is a curse, and find a way to rid the Red Sox of it.

Denial only makes it worse.

It's the first step to recovery!

[Yavin4]

20. Maybe If Your Team Wasn't So Racist...

you would've won a series or two. The Red Sox could have had both Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays. The only curse that you have is the curse of racism.

[joeybee12]

21. Thanks for going back 50 years for that stupid comment

That has to be the dumbest post of the day--congratulations!

[NewYorkerfromMass]

24. No shit. pretty dumb

:eyes:

[Yavin4]

25. Dude, You Guys Haven't Won Since 1918

It's no curse. For the longest time, African-American and Latino free agents deliberately avoided signing with Boston. It's only been recently with Pedro and Manny that Latino players have felt welcomed in Boston, and even they don't talk to the media.

It's no curse. It's a century of mis-management

[NewYorkerfromMass]

27. Luis Tiant, Luis Aparicio, and many others would say to you

bullshit.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

23. fuck that

and Don Zimmer is fucking insane. I think his steel plate must have shifted.
The Red Sox are down. Big shit. Don Baylor would have something to say about that, and I'm sure Millar does now.
Fuck that. Cowboy up and carry on!

[Kira]

26. EXACTLY

Cowboy up baby, down but not out.
Have another drink Zimmer.
