I don't know Guilt... when the biggest Red Sox mark in ESPN says that the curse is over, that is a big mark (Peter Gammons, in case anyone was confused).
With all of that talk on Baseball Tonight about playing the Who's "Set me free" and that crap eating grin he had on his face, I say he thinks the curse is over.
Same with a few other Red Sox fans I know. Same with me... That was the major hump to get over. The other stigmatism you are talking about now with the World Series will NEVER be overcome. You can't say, The Yanks 26, Red Sox 0 and not lget the moment of this series with the Yanks slip away into nothing. This was history, we are VERY fortunate...
This was a HUGE choke by the Yankees and a GREAT comeback by the Red Sox. This will be remembered for a LONG time, even if the Sox don't win the Series. THAT is what breaks the curse.
EDITED: Because I am a Twins fan...

Woah...everyone hold on. The world hasn't ended yet, has it? Its only been day...but still, worth checking...
...or will that only happen if the Sox win it all?
((For the record, I'll throw in a GO SOX!...not sure why, I used to be a big Braves fan, but that was so long ago and I just faded out of watching sports...now, GO SOX! I say!))

Just wanted to step in and say congratulations to the Red Sox and their fans!
I'm not as big a Red Sox fan as my girlfriend is; I don't care much for the Yankees (I know it's a lame thing to say, but they win too much
). I'm actually not even that big a baseball fan, but I did want to say that this ALCS has been some of the best baseball I've ever seen, and that game 7 last night may have been the best single game I've seen (that's not saying much, though, 'cause I haven't seen too many).
I want to compliment the Sox and their fans and the game itself (and the Yankees and their fans, too, actually). I'm not a big baseball fan, but last night, watching that game was a powerful experience. It rocked—real shake-the-pillars-of-heaven type stuff! And I had this great experience while watching. I didn't want to get too excited for the Sox as the game unfolded, because I was worried that the worst might happen. But as the game went on, I became more enthralled, more excited, more nervous.
And then, a really cool thing happened in the 9th: I began to believe. All the signs in the audience, all the shots of supportive (and nervous) fans at the bars in Boston, my girlfriend rooting for them, the level of play. It all came together somehow, and I began to BELIEVE. With one out to go, I DID believe. And it happened.
And that was so cool! It felt like being part of something bigger than myself, and it was fun, and the baseball itself was excellent. The whole Boston team played solidly the whole night, from Cabrera's fielding to Lowe's pitching to Damon's hitting. It was joyful baseball to watch, and to feel like this team, after all these years, was slaying a giant!
No matter what happens in the World Series, Boston will always have this series and that game. In some ways, that's an even bigger victory than a World Series: down 3-0, come from behind, force a game 7, and then win it, against the Yankees, decisively, in Yankee Stadium! What a triumph!
So, thanks, Boston, and Boston's die-hard supporters, and thanks, too, to the Yankees, and their fans, for a great series made all the more powerful for the love the fans have of the teams, and for the rivalry the teams and fans have with each other. That was truly awesome.

Now in the article it didn't mention how this all got started.
I wonder if Theo Esptien (sp?) called Boston General and said hey there's something we want to try on Curt's ankle. Could you send over a stiff so we can practice first?
I'm glad it worked because we are going to need him if the Sox are going to win the WS. GO SOX!!

Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
Gloves up, Crothian.
