My grandparents were born in 1920 and 1922. They died in 1994, 1996, and 2000. They always talked about the Sox and watched them every night, but never saw this. This is for them!!!

The curse was lifted by the sports guy for a local AM talk radio station. He went to Fenway a few years ago and brought back a little bottle of dirt from the infield. Well after the Sox went down three gams to NY, he went over to Kalamazoo Central High School ball field, and mixed the dirt from Boston into the Kalamazoo Dirt at the short stop position. The same spot that Derek Jeter played as he grew up in Kalamazoo.
Sox have not lost a game since that day.
Congratulations, to the World Series Champion Red Sox and their fans.
My Cardinals stunk up the place, that's for sure. Well, there's always next year.

Well congrats I guess are in order.

WOO - HOO!!!
The fictional curse is over! (and if it was real, I think Nelson broke it) Find some new chants New York!
Nice Green Monster Dan!
First the Red Sox, next the Maple Leafs!!!!! (once the NHL restarts)

I don't like that explaination because it means that Derek Jeter is this mystical hero who's mere dirt help bless the Sox. The best explaination I've heard is . . . pitching.
You just know A-Rod and co. were watching this thinking they could have rolled over the Cardinals too. Maybe next year.

I always thought 1918 was a chant that Sox fans should take over, kind of like how the Minutemen took over the "Yankee Doodle" song during the Revolution after the Redcoats wrote it as a taunt.
But now there's no need. Next year when I get to my seats at Yankee stadium to watch the Sox play (booty from a bet in the last round with a Yankees fan), I will be hooting the chant "2004! 2004!"
And that's a great touch on the front page- I love Wally.
That is cool. Haven't checked out the news. Wondering if the Sox fans rioted last night. As Dave Chappelle once noted black people riot when they are upset and white folks riot when they are happy.

I still think the Cards can take them with the reamaining games........
Talk about your meltdowns....
HA HA HA HA.....was I wrong.......but still very nice to see the Sox win the big one....

THE LEAFS!? HA!
The Habs will rise again!!!!!!
Oh.. and.. go Sox! Cubs next year!
You get all squeezed up inside/Like the days were carved in stone/You get all wired up inside/And it's bad to be alone
You can go out, you can take a ride/And when you get out on your own/You get all smoothed out inside/And it's good to be alone

It was not his dirt, it was dirt from Fenway cursing Jeter's past.
Well, Michaelskis, I think your story was cool. I will share it with friends.

Congratulations Sox fans-
But couldn't you guys have waited till the Cubies won the NL,, or at least thrown us a game!
Enjoy it, and GO CARDS (2005)
She has been a bad girl, she is like a chemical, though you try and stop it she is like a narcotic.
Oh yaaa! The curse is reversed!
By the way, another added touch was the hillarious "God Bless America" by Scott Stapp.
"God bless Amurrrricurrrrr..." I'm surprised he didn't have his shirt off and the wind blowing in his hair.
Sadly, this is the first time in many years I haven't kept up with Series. Heck, I didn't even go to a single Bucko's home game this season. Could it be that I'm losing interest in baseball?!
Man, I can't stand him... What a douche.
Question: Why did Fox keep showing pictures of Sox fans in New York bars? No bars in Boston?
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
The Mayor *outlawed* it in Boston in order to reduce rowdiness post-game. Appears to have worked from what I read/saw.
Of course, no such thing would have been necessary in St. Louie.

But New York bars?? How about some suburban Boston bars? Or up in New Hampshire?The Mayor *outlawed* it in Boston in order to reduce rowdiness post-game. Appears to have worked from what I read/saw....
