But looking forward at the World Series (wow, I can't believe I'm saying that about the Red Sox.)...vs St. Louis: Plenty of history there, '46 and '67... Really, outside of New York, the Cards have to be Boston's biggest haunt. The NL's equivalent to the Yankees. Definitely a big part of the curse -- of course, what more appropriate way to lift the curse would there be than going through the Yanks, then Cards?...vs Houston: Bucky. Buckner. Boone. Can you understand why I'm a little worried about the Killer B's? Not to mention Clemens will be involved -- the second most important pitcher that Boston ever lost to the Yankees.It's a tough call, but I'd rather see the Cardinals. While they both have all the makings for "just another chapter in the curse," at least with the Cardinals, there's the "defeating old ghosts" angles as well. And since everything up this point has played out like a melodrama rather than a sport, it seems only natural to evaluate the Red Sox' chances in those terms.But hey... Whether it's agonizing or exuberant, at least there's no conceivable way this series could be boring. Can't wait for Saturday.</blockquote>
