Curse of the Zimm???

That old man got everything he deserved, and perhaps a little less . Bugger the "Curse of the Zimm".

Babe's ghost is still restless though...

Translation from this Boston Admin? "Hi, Piratecat! Will you ban me? Pleeeeeze?"

Congrats, guys. We went down fighting.

The season is over with as far as I'm concerned. I doubt I'll watch the World Series because I could frankly care less about either of the teams in it!

Certainly. Torre said it best when he mentioned that no one wanted to play Boston. They have a really tough team up there in Beantown. Someone had to lose and it doesn't get any tighter than that. I'm still stunned that the Yanks pulled it out.

Instant Classic, in my book.

Check my website (link in .sig) for a completely serious, not at all tongue-in-cheek breakdown of what would have happened in a Sox/Cubs Series. Fresh from my cerebral cortex to your optic nerve!

just wanted to chime in with an "i told you so" after letting it sink in.
pedro pitched just good enough to lose.again.
doesnt get the L hung on him, but he let his team down.
i never want to hear him referred to as an elite pitcher again.

heres a cool quote from hero of the day,Aaron Boone.
"Like Derek told me, 'The ghosts will show up eventually,'"

and did you see that after the game, Wells and Clemens went out to Monument Park and kissed the Babe Ruth plaque? Havent seen it online yet, but that might be a shot that needs to be framed.

I think that's an unfair comparison seeing as the Cubs blew a 3-1 series lead when the Sox were strong enough to claw themselves back up into contention and give us such memorable games 6 and 7.

As some other people have said, while I'm not a regular Cubs or Sox fan I was pulling for those teams for sentimental reasons. It's a real disappointment... tired of seeing the same teams always in the final. It's boring and bad for the overall health of the game IMHO.

I don't see how anyone can see that Game 7 as bad for the game. The Marlins have been one of the most exciting teams in the postseason. It's not Cubs/Sox or Cubs/Yanks (both which would have gotten bigger ratings) but I bet they'll be good games. The Yanks are beatable and Florida has a good team. I think it will be an entertaining World Series, just like the rest of the playoffs.
