It was history when Boston came back 3-0 against the Yankees and they did it by beating the storied Mariano Rivera. So it was inevitable that they'd win the World Series too. Steinbrenner showed the folly in trying to put together an All-Star Lineup while neglecting middle relief. You can't expect Mariano Rivera to go 3 innings every time out. People like to say the Yanks buy Championships, but they never spent as much money as they did this year and to no avail. You still have to have heart to win the big game and the Yanks don't have it anymore. Gone are the Tinos and O'Neills and Brosius's. Jeff Nelson and Mike Stanton allowed the Yanks to play Chad Curtis and Joe Girardi and still win. Playing Gary Sheffiled and Alex Rodriguez doesn't make up for Sturtz in a tie game.
I would have liked to have seen the curse continue and then I read this:
Boston pitcher Curt Schilling, interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America," said, "Tell everybody to vote. And vote Bush next week."
That will take the sting out.
