This puts me in mind of another story in England.

It’s one way of settling a dispute.

I thought I would safely die without seeing the Sox win a Series…and yet they appear to be on the verge. It is Wednesday night, quite possibly the final game of the 2004 Series – I am 3500 miles away from Boston right now and six hours in the future….but even from here I can still sense that all (or at least something) is not quite as it should be.
I would like to apologise to all of the Boston fans – it appears it was my fault. Since leaving N.E., the Patriots have won not one, but two Super Bowl’s and the Sox might just break the curse. Who knows – if the lock-out hadn’t occured, maybe the B’s would have been skating the Cup around Boston Garden (never never the Fleet Center) at the end of this season too.
The Babe’s got nothing on me.
Sorry – I should have left earlier.

It only takes one person to jinx the game for the whole team :(

David Letterman said something funny on his show the other day
The Red Sox won and all of their fans are shocked and don’t know what to do… so they go on the Internet and write about it
Hehe, it’s true. ;-)

I think Pedro will be in fine form against the Yankees. Both teams had seen so much of each other that it was easy for teams to get to the pitchers. I think that is how the Sox hit Mussina, Brown, and Riveria so hard

May I suggest the next Web Standards meetup happens in the Monster Seats during game one? Dan, you’re in charge of tix. Call me when you get ‘em.

Living in Boston tends to make you into a Red Sox, even though I was born and bred into a NY sports family in Southern New England…

Ok. Now I’m torn. Growing up less than two hours away from the Arch made me a Cards fan by genetics.
Boston is the only team in the AL I follow. (Stupid DH).
This World Series will be bittersweet for me.

I was in Boston last week and joined in a discussion of whether Boston could handle the Red Sox actually winning the World Series. Rooting for the Red Sox and just keeping the faith, year after year…after year. Well, it’s kind of essential to the psychology of Boston. It’s such a part of who we are…die hard fans.
Anyway, I found myself losing track of the conversation and wondering what it would look like if the Sox’s won the World Series. In this daydream, I had such a clear vision of Pedro going nuts on the field….this is the year.
