Being down 3-0 to the Bombers in the ALCS and to come back to win it and then sweep the high powered Cards in the world series, simply amazing. They flat out earned. I tip my cap to them. I guess Johnny can cut his hair now :hehe: :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

What a game: a four-hit shutout pinned on the Cardinals by the Bosox... :applaud: :applaud:


Of course, I feel really bad for Nomar Garciaparra whom they shipped off to the Cubbies at the trade deadline.... :(

"A. The Yankees." :doh: :beaten:

After watching this series, I would also accept the Cardinals as the answer. Did someone forget to tell when the WS would start? Wow, talk about nonproductive hitting. The Curse is dead. :woot: Next in line for curses are the Chicago teams (Cubs, 1908; White Sox, 1917) and the Giants (1954) among other teams.

I wouldn't consider those three teams to be cursed as much as being under a prolonged drought.... :hehe:

I suppose you're right...being a Giants fan it was rough watching the disintegration of 2002, and the 1989 sweep by the A's during the earthquake. There was an article written recently that described the Giant's "curse". Apparently they traded a decent pitcher from their 54 championship year who went on to do well for another team and they have not won since then. 0 championships in San Francisco.

Here's hoping for a Giants WS ring. 2002 was indeed harsh. :( I hope the Giants get some good free agents, especially some good pitchers for the bullpen.

damn, there was an eclipse...Id rather have seen that than the horrible series.

very, very nice sig mvc...very...

Yea 2002 was very harsh. I think starting rotation they should bring back tomko but for the most part they're set there. A bat to protect Barry would also be nice but that bullpen needs help. I hope Sabean will have a bit more money to work with this offseason.

Hahah. I heard Schilling gave an endorsement for George W. on Good Morning America.

Don't worry, Nomar got a piece of the action.

Schilling also gave his non-endorsement for A-Rod. =)

Yea Nomar was like Mr. Red Soxs for the longest time but he was also a cancer in the clubhouse so it was a move they had to make else I really would have doubt the Red Sox would have even made it to the world series let alone the playoffs.

Speaking of people leaving, I think Derek Lowe just earned himself a new 7 million dollar house.

Cool. Hard to picture him in a Cubby uniform.

Babe Ruth's 1919 contract, which sent him from the Boston Red Sox to the New York Yankees.
