I want to congratulate the Red Sox, and venray. Now, with this loss tonight, the Yankees replace the Braves as the biggest postseason chokers in history. Nice job, Steinbrenner, AKA Steinbuyer, you stupid putz. This series showed that 200 million dollars does not buy a World Series championship. The Yankees have no pitching. I suspected it in the preseason, and this series proved it. Good Luck in the World Series. I truly hope the Sox can finally break the curse of the Bambino!

Meanwhile....
Who's YOUR fucking daddy?
This is for my friend Chris, the biggest Red Sox fan I've ever known...Chris died in a car accident in February '03, and would he have loved to have seen this, it would've made his life...
It shuts up Yankee fans who truly believed, in their heart of hearts, that this particular condition would never, ever change...
It makes now for an event even more entertaining than the game itself: the wrath and fury of George Steinbrenner, which will probably dwarf that of Hurricane Frances...
I think Boston can beat whichever opponent they face. And then we'll hear no more about stupid curses. I'm pushing for the Cards, since I've always been a bit of a closet Cards fan, and it would be the third chapter of THIS saga, continuing the seven game episodes of 1946 and 1967...I'm very happy here.

Ray, I see your point. This is how I see it. While the Cards no doubt had a wonderful regular season, and even though the Sox will have the home field advantage, Houston has been so hot lately that I probably would take my chances with the Cards. If you figure you can pitch Schilling and Pedro in at least four or five of the seven games in the series, and throw in Lowe, with as well as he pitched tonight, they just might shut that awesome Cardinal offense down. It usually is said in the postseason that great pitching stops great hitting. It happened with the Braves against the Indians in 1995, when the best pitching in the game that year shut down one of the best lineups of all time, and in 1969 when Seaver, Koosman and Gentry shut down the fantastic Orioles lineup.
Either team is going to be tough, and whoever wins, it should be a great series. As I said, Iam pulling for the Sox to go all the way, to finally have people stop talking about 1918 and something that happened 86 years ago. It is time that the Sox created a new history for their fans.

Thanks!
I'm a Cubs fan and I just wanna thank the Sox! Maybe this proves there is no such thing as a 'curse' and anything is possible. This might just be the inspiration the Cubs need to get over it and realize yes YOU CAN WIN. Again, Congrats to the Red Sox!!

What an AWESOME achievement!! 😀 WAY TO GO RED SOX!! 
Its been a long time coming for you guys, congratulations! 😀 Coming back from an 0-3 deficit is an accomplishment only the 42 Leafs and 75 Islanders of the NHL succeeded in doing, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving team and their loyal fans!! This will help take the sting out of the fact there's no NHL season 🙂 GO SOX! 🙂

I never believed in a curse, anyway. Curse, schmurse. Consider this: going back to 1967, the Red Sox seem to have been competitive about 85% of the time. I can remember only a couple of seasons under .500. Now, much of the time, the Chokecago Cubs have been utterly embarrassing, in comparison. In that time, you can look back on the likes of Rico Petrocelli and Fred Lynn and Jim Rice and Carlton Fisk and Spike Owen and Marty Barrett and George Scott and a whole bunch of other talented guys who came through Kenmore Square. Curse? No. I blame much of the Fenway Failure on front office incompetence. Haywood Sullivan, Dan Duquette, et al, ad infinitum ad quite nauseum. Incompetence breeds contempt, and that kind of contempt brings 24/7 talk of curses and getting the Yankee off your back.

Yes, Yankees fans need to learn Humility, I know, I know. Thing is, they're incapable of feeling such a human emotion. That's why it's so much fun to see their crestfallen faces. They've been made to believe that losing is NOT their lot in life, it's everyone else's. Funny, since most of them lived through the Dark Days of 1989, 1990, 1991, back when the Yankees were posting records that even the Tampa Bay Devil Rays would've laughed at.
There's a sports analyst on the radio in New York, a man named Mike Francesa. In the most arrogant tone possible, he claims that there's a "Natural Order of Things", in other words, the Yankees on top and the Red Sox prone. Such a concept is a relative one. Mr. Francesa, being a few years older than myself, could easily have been molded into thinking this way during his formative years, which were the years of Mantle and Maris and Bobby Richardson. To me, the "Natural Order of Things" is a somewhat different one...given my formative years, the 'Natural Order' consisted of 75-80% of the press and the media and the buzz about town being focused on goings on in Queens in a windswept stadium covered on the outside with orange and blue shingles, with the unhappy remainder of the press and the media and the buzz about town bestowed on a yellowed and faded heritage, the indifferent ownership of CBS, and Joe Pepitone and Horace Clarke. Or, in the words of George Steinbrenner, "Out-Towned". Those were the days. The Mets on top, and the Yanks willing to sell their souls to Satan just to beat the Baltimore Orioles.
The World Series starts Saturday, with Wakefield the knuckleballer starting for the Boston Red Sox. Man, does that sound great.

Knox, I'm only gonna take the Cubs bashing only so far...😛
I am glad the Red Sox won, so people can stop talking about it. They had a great team, and deserved to win. I hope they go all the way😀 It is about time the situation was reversed, and the Yanks can now watch it on TV like everyone else
The only other thing I can take out of this is that I hope this gives the Cubs some inspiration to do it next year. Oh, wouldn't it have been cool if it was a Red Sox/Cubs series??
Somewhere, JPie is in hiding....

curse
I may be wrong.. but from what I understand, actually "the curse" is NOT beating the Yankees.. "the curse" is actually the fact that Boston has never won a world series? During the 'modern day era' anyway. I think they won a world series back in the dark ages. If that's so, i guess time will tell us if 'the curse' is really over.
Also I have to disagree with Mitchell that the Yankees have now replaced the Braves as the biggest 'chokers' in postseason history. One season does not make all of history. The Braves have choked so many times they need a calculator to keep track. And while yes, the Yanks did choke, and yes they are the only team in the MLB to blow a 0-3 lead, I still do not believe that this would label them the biggest chokers in history. If that were true then I guess some would argue the '85 Bears the greatest NFL team in history. I think not. They had one great year but that does not make them the greatest team in history. Just as the Yanks had one bad choke. That does not make them the biggest chokers in all of baseball history. The Braves are now 13-0 as Division Champions and all they have to show for it is 1 world series? Against the Indians??!! (Wasn't that the team in the movie Major League because they were so bad?) If the Yanks went 13-0 as Division Champs with only one ring to show for it Mr Steinbrenner would be out of a job. No I take that back - he would fire himself and resign in shame.

Sounds like...1918, Natural. Red Sox beat the Cubs, in six, in a World Series played a month early because of war concerns, and which featured a player's strike that almost wiped out one of the games...
