I chose the RedSox. Therefore, expect the Cardinals to win. That's just my luck.

The Curse...

The Sox? HA! The curse lives. As a Met fan I have but one thing to say:

Bill Buckner


Another season of "what if's" by the team that invented the term.

I'd like to see Boston break the curse. But even if they don't win, they came back and beat the Yankees, so I'm happy.

I don't know who will win the series but I'll have to watch the first game tomorrow night as I believe it will be a real slug fest.

Cardinals. What better way for the curse to continue? The Red Sox manage that comeback to win the ALCS, but as always in the World Series... not quite enough there...

Maybe they win a couple and the Cardinals do the comeback on them....

I think they should cancel it until a thorough investigation can be conducted into why the wrong team is representing the NL.

I don't "have" a team anymore. I used to follow the Yankees, then the strike hit and I haven't watched a game since.

I think the Sox will forget that this ear is not like all of the other years where they watched the series on TV. I think they'll forget to show up, because they're used to being on vacation this time of year, and manage to forfeit 2-3 games before they remember.

The cuuuuurse of the Bambinoooooooo...

I have never seen a baseball team so determined to lose a game no matter what their opponents did. The Sox are going to win - divine intervention won't let them lose. Manny Ramirez would be in prison if he couldn't hit - his fielding is a crime before both man and nature. I predict David Ortiz will unseat Teddy Kennedy at last.
