October 21, 200421 yr I say no, the Red Sox still must win the world title, else the curse lives, and the world title drought still lives.
October 21, 200421 yr There was never a curse on the Sox.... never believed it. The cubs on the other hand.....
October 21, 200421 yr Author There was never a curse on the Sox. 597795[/snapback] 86 years of history says otherwise....
October 21, 200421 yr Author MAYBE but it depends if the Sox win the WS. 597794[/snapback] Exactly, it's not dead yet, but if they win the world series, obviously the curse is lifted.
October 21, 200421 yr I really don't believe in that curse. There's no real story behind it. I dunno...
October 21, 200421 yr I really don't believe in that curse. There's no real story behind it. I dunno... 597799[/snapback] No real story? Trading the greatest baseball player ever to your nemisis?
October 21, 200421 yr There's no real story behind it. I dunno... 597799[/snapback] No story behind it? You must be joking.
October 21, 200421 yr The curse was only applicable to the Yankees with Bucky and Boone, for the most part, it was just Red Sox ineptitude...no way it's broken until they actually win the damn thing.

The curse will not be lifted until the Sox actually win the WS. I'm now really hoping the Cards win the NL pennant so then the World Series will be a rematch of the 1967 WS where the Sox lost it in 7 games. Winning the AL pennant is just a small step.
October 21, 200421 yr I really don't believe in that curse. There's no real story behind it. I dunno...? 597799[/snapback] No real story? Trading the greatest baseball player ever to your nemisis? 597802[/snapback] ...and that makes it a 'curse'? I don't buy it.

I don't buy it. 597816[/snapback] Just because you don't believe in the curse doesn't mean there is "no real story behind it" like you put it. Not believing in it and saying there is "no real story behind it" are two completely different things. You don't have to believe in it, but there is certainly a long story with a very rich history behind the curse.
October 21, 200421 yr It's completely different than the Cubs curse. It's not like someone actually put a curse on the Sox, as that guy did to the Cubs.
October 21, 200421 yr I know I was not the only one hoping for some kind of miracle there in the 9th inning that the Yanks would pull it out. Gosh could you imagine the faces of those Sox fans in the Bronx if that happend Maybe something like this: A combination
October 21, 200421 yr The curse was entirely based on the yankees, and the sox beat them in the greatest comeback in baseball. So I'll assume it's over.
October 21, 200421 yr as silly as it might sound, I think that the curse ended when Nomar went to the Cubbies...hence extending their curse...
October 21, 200421 yr Curse started after 1918, so its not over until they win a World Series. Hopefully Beltran or Pujols will keep the curse alive. :thumbup
October 21, 200421 yr No. The curse must be lifted by winning the World Series. Anything less is not acceptable. Because if that was the case, the curse would have been lifted back in 1986 :whistle
