See Red Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I just thought that this was a fitting punishment for the comments you made about yesterday's game. comments like this are just like kicking sand in someones face. Raggin on a team is fine enough, but don't make things personal. Everyone eats crow about comments they make, everyone. JQK apologised about what he said, which I think was very big of him to do, I can understand how fans can get emotionally attatched to a team, how much a team means to someone, and how it feels like utter garbage when they get screwed. and to say that is just a slap in the faceBut anyways, getting back on topic and away from assinine comments:Do the BoSox have what it takes to takke down the Cards or the Astros? I thought it was wierd as hell them bringing Pedro in to pitch. Anyone think it'll play a role in his performance int he Series? I think the Red Sox can beat the Astros or the Cards.And no, it was only one inning for Pedro. I think he'll be fine for the World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Now in the unlikely event teh SOx dont win the WOrld Series what will this be viewed as in Boston? An opportunity to burn cars in the street? More seriously, that's a good question. It's funny when you see replays of the 1975 World Series you only see game 6 and Fisk's home run. You never see Game 7 and a Reds victory. I'd guess this would be no different. It would become part of the Boston sports folklore, but we'd still have to listen to how they're cursed.

Swiss Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I hope the Red Sox will have a good Series. They now are very light because they eliminated the Yankees who almost eliminated Boston in that unforgettable Game 4.Winning the ALCS with 4 consecutives feats gives a huge backup in the BoSox players' spirit.

zer0dotcom Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Now in the unlikely event teh SOx dont win the WOrld Series what will this be viewed as in Boston? Curse continues. Just looking at that date, 1918 wow, just shy of 90 years. I wonder how hte Sox are gonna do in 2018, and how big a celebration this would have been in that year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Curse continues. The only ones which they believe in the curse are superstitious.They don't believe in the hard work, they believe only in the good and bad luck to explain some things that happened in this world.In order to win, it is necessary to play good baseball.The only time that Boston had bad luck was in 1986 with Buckner. The other times when Boston lost big games, there were misplays or low performance of key players.I never believed in curses. Only in a crafted and well done work.

DEAD! Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Now in the unlikely event teh SOx dont win the WOrld Series what will this be viewed as in Boston? This is what I was trying to get at in my previous post. The curse is more about the Yankees, but if they don't win the World Series then Yankee fans will still chant 1918 in the face of Red Sox fans.What's also lost is that the NLCS has also been exciting. I'm hoping St. Louis will win the World Series and become the second team to make double-digit titles. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The Yankees of the N.L."?From what's usually described as a "small market city"? Well, in terms of World Series titles, I would say the Cards are the Yankees of the NL. Hopefully they can get to double-digit titles this year. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
