nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 4. New York doesn't get nervous and don't pay attention to the hype. Boston falls apart if one little thing happens. case in example Kevin brown hurts his hands...Yankee Players response "What a dumb move! That's okay, he'll heal up in time and we'll find ourselves a way out of this Jam" Curt Schilling fucks up his Ankle...Red Sox Players response "Fucking curse" That is why Boston will always be a second place second rate city to New York. The notion of a curse is a media created, and media driven, idea. I'd say 99% of the Red Sox organization knows that there isn't a curse. I'd say 99% of the sane Red Sox fans knows that there isn't a curse. *and note that I specified sane ... the steakheads that wear "Jeter has AIDS" shirts do not count as sane, and probably believe in the curse. Im not even a New Yorker and I didn't mean in the "BETTER CITY" sense of the world. I don't feel a personal preference to either town....I meant that Boston is a second rate New York, the franchises not the towns. If you meant the Boston franchise was inferior, why did you blatantly use the word "city" in your post? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 15, 2004 The Yankees and/or the Red Sox have made the playoffs every year in the wildcard era. Hey how about some '93 Red Sox/Yankees? Like that game where the guy does the run-in on the third base line or wherever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Two reasons the curse does not exist... 1. The Red Sox have never had a year which they were clearly the best team, since 1918. 2. For all the times the Red Sox have supposively choked, they've also pulled miracles out of the asses. The 1967 Pennant Race. Game six of the 1975 World Series. Game Five of the 1986 ALCS. By all rights, the Red Sox shouldn't have even been to the World Series that year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Here is what I can't stand We got the Curse of the Bambino and the Curse of the Billy Goat for Boston and Chicago Cubs. Why doesn't anyone mention a curse for Chicago White Sox or Cleveland Indians? Two teams that have gone a equally or almost as long time since winning a world title. No one has made up a "Curse of Shoeless Joe" for Chicago. The curse doesn't exist but the fans and the players eventully buy into it, even if they don't claim to be bothered by it, it's still over their heads.

Big McLargeHuge 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2004 There's been mention of a "Curse of the Black Sox", but it hasn't really caught on. I have no clue what kind of "curse" can be given to the Indians. I guess something has to explain long championship droughts. Though, you never see Giants fans complaining about curses. We've just never had dominant teams. Good, yes. Dominant, never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 15, 2004 Papi's Papi. He's like a Dominican Santa Claus. You can't hate David Ortiz. That's nice and all, but that's the second time this week he's given an interview while drunk or stoned or something. You would think SOMEONE on the team would keep him away from reporters when he's like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Unfrozen Caveman Poster Report post Posted October 16, 2004 I am just a caveman. Your games frighten and confuse me. I see them hit the ball with a club as far as they can, so they can run in a circle? Why don't they just run in a striaght line? Is the ball a source of food?
