The house Babe Ruth lived in when he was playing for Boston was bulldozed just before the ALCS started. May be there was a delayed effect as the Yankees won the first three before losing the last four. If the Red Sox win the WS, this Baseball fan will consider the curse reversed. Of course, ESPN will then give the Cubs grief until and whenever they win the WS
. They'll make every kind of wordy refernce to the Curse of the Goat. It's what they do best...
That last line may sound a bit rantish but really it's not

As a side note after seeing two awesome Championship Series Game Sevens on successive days, the news this day shows some folks in Boston going nutcase resulting in one death and a vehicle with New York plates being torched according to some news reports. No wonder the umpires requested the on field police presence during game 5 or 6 in NY
The blame is already being lobbed around like a hot potato, but the fact remains that in a household somewhere a young woman won't come home to see Mom and Dad ever again. Just plain sad
[Rant Off]
For the record as Casey Stengel once quoted a fan, "...i've been a Mets fan since before i was born". Yeah, i know they're stinkin' up the place the last few years...
