The Curse Is Still Alive!

To all Red Sox fans, let me start by saying may you all die a slow and torturous death followed by eternal damnation roasting in the flames of hell!

Now that I've gotten that off my chest: Congrats on the clutch win. Not only was it clutch to win the series, the Red Sox were simply the better team. It's the first time I can remember thinking that, let alone saying it.

Man, it's hard to say that. I feel like Fonzie when he would have to admit he was wr-wr-wr-wrong.

"C-C-C-Con-Con-Congratulations."

Not to rain on your parade (although it would be nice) but just a reminder that although the Yankees are dead at the hands of the Red Sox, the curse still has another 6 years before it will be lifted. The Red Sox will not win the World Series until 2010. Here’s why:

The curse is not the curse of the Yankees, it’s the curse of the Bambino. After the Red Sox sold him, Ruth played 15 seasons for the Yankees, then one for the Boston Braves. As of tonight, the Yankees involvement in the curse has ended. On Mickey Mantle’s birthday, we can close the 15th and final Yankee chapter of the curse.

After 86 years, the curse has moved from New York TO BOSTON. You are done with the first 15/16ths. The next 6 years of the curse will be due to the 1 year the Babe spent back in Boston with the Braves. Therefore, as the mathematics clearly show, The Red Sox will not win the World Series until the year 2010 when they fittingly beat the Atlanta (formerly Boston) Braves at Fenway.

Still, I guess you’ve earned the right to celebrate for the moment. I know I would.

Just kidding about the burning in hell part.

Sort of.
