The Curse is lifted
#1

It's over and done with...ANOTHER WILD CARD WINS THE WORLD SERIES!!!

At 11:40pm Eastern Time on October 28, 2004, The Curse was lifted. Babe Ruth can sleep a little more soundly knowing his name won't be called every post season for the next millennium.

And they won it in style...the BoSox are the new Men With Brooms...masterfully sweeping the best team in baseball for the past YEAR. Who knew after 86 years, they would shut out the top team in the major leagues two games in a row, to sweep it, in the opponent's building?!

This is such a great story, especially after last year's debacle, I feel privileged to have had it happened during my generation!

First the Pats, now the Sox...

Boston has officially claimed the title of "CITY OF CHAMPIONS"!

Congrats to all the Sox fans out there! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

This is a sad day in sports. I wish Fallon would keep his geeky self off of television. All the world needs is to give those arrogant hick Bostonians something else to brag about. Sad day indeed.

Arrogant? Hypocrite. And for a guy from Potato Eatin' Island, I'm surprised you'd call Bostonians hicks!

Sour grapes aside, the Sox played quite well this series and clearly deserved to win. Their defensive play was tight, bailing them out in tight spots. It also helped that for some reason the St Louis pitchers disappeared without a trace...you gotta wonder how a team like that could have their first 3 game starters last 2, 4, and 4 innings.

But whatever the reason for their win, the monumental upset of the Yankees AND the World Series coming in the same year is truly remarkable. Congrats to the city of Boston.

How am I a hypocrite? I'm the least arrogant person in the world.

What's wrong with potatoes? Yeah, Islanders are hicks but we have nothing on the hick "let's let a bunch of millionaire ball players affect our everyday lives and let's not pronounce our 'r's'" Bostonians. Oh yeah, I forgot the "let's be pompous jerks to anyone who isn't a Red Sox fan" attitude.

Yeah that was Drew Barrymore. :mrgreen: Apparently he was shooting a movie about the Curse of the Sox, so guess we'll see if that's in the final cut, I imagine it will be.

ditto for me

This is the greatest moment in sports. If you can't come up with a better reason for the Sox not be deserving of this win than "Bostonian hicks" Well, then you don't have a valid argument. Name calling is the lowest form of arguing. People who resort to name calling usually don't have anything to back themselves up. The Sox played their hearts out and this is the best team in Red Sox history!

I hate the Patriots and the Bruins but if they win, they deserve it because they have a great team!

You win some you lose some and if you don't think a team winning a world series for the first time in 86 years isn't great, you are either a Yankees fan, or don't have a heart.

However, my boyfriend, who is a Yankees fan was happy they won. It couldn't have happened to a better team.

Congrats to all Red Sox fans in Hipbase land. That was pretty damn convincing, and of course the win over the Yankees was one for the ages.

Fallon making out with Barrymore? For the love of humanity, here's hoping they don't procreate.

why? i garauntee their kid would be laughably better looking than yourself...and i'm not just saying that because i'm pissed the sox won, i'm saying it because Jimmy Fallon a fine looking young man, Drew Barrymore is a beautiful woman, and because i've always imagined you to be a very unattractive and possibly foul smelling individual. yes, a smell-based insult, you heard it from me first, you guys insist i have no class, so i figure i'll act it, and maybe piss you off a bit in doing so, cheers BOSOX, choke on your champagne while Boston burns to the ground....



the "B" stands for BASTARDS!

Back to the first point about the Red Sox defense bailing them out? When did this occur? 8 errors in two games sure sounds like great defense to me! :roll: Who made great defensive plays? Was it Manny's throw from almost the infield to throw out the runner at home that was great? Or maybe it was when Trot Nixon fell on his ass in the outfield! Big Grin

Greatest moment in sports? To you but not to me. Firstly, it's only sports and it doesn't affect my life. I don't take a win or a loss as seriously as most fans I guess. I just hate all the coverage that is going to be on tv for the next year! I have to watch the damn Boston affiliates on the networks!If the Red Sox didn't choke so much, they would have won the Series before this year. I don't consider winning a World Series a great accomplishment for a team that has loaded up on high priced talent for years and just won this year.

So this is better than the Ruth led Red Sox team?

I hate the Yankees as much as I hate the BoSox and what's it have to do with my heart? What do filthy rich millionaire athletes have to do with my heart? They don't care about the average fan's happiness! Sorry my life doesn't revolve around whether a sports team wins or loses. There are a lot more important things to worry about. You should be worrying about innocent kids dying before caring about a bunch of snotty nosed athletes who have no idea about the real world and people who actually are heroes. No professional athlete is a hero and it is disrepesctful to all genuine heroes to refer to athletes as such. If I was a firefighter I would feel offended listening to Mccarver refer to Jeter and Damon and others as heroes.

It actually could have happened to a better team. I think it would be better if a team that didn't spend over 100 mill to buy a team won the Series. They say money can't buy a winning team. Well it can't guarantee a World Series champion but it can get you to the dance almost every year.
