What makes the Red Sox fans think that they have vanguished the curse ? They have beat the Yanks in alcs playoff game. However, they have not won a world series and that is what the curse is all about. The Red Sox have made it to the World series a number of times already only to fall short in the final games. I hope they do win it this year but if they lose the World Series.... well they have fallen short again ! 1918 is the last time they have won and that was before the Babe. Go Red Sox and put this silly curse to sleep once and all.
Kermit- Apparrently you missed my thoughts as a RED SOX fan.

Many other Red Sox teams have done great accomplishments too......
Division Championsips and playoff appearances
Sweeping the 3-time defending Champion Athletics in 75
Fisk and Carbo homers in 75
Impossible Dream season of 67
Coming back from the dead in the last week of 78 season
Dave Henderson dramatic homer off of Donnie Moore in 86
Numerous season MVP awards, HR titles, Cy Youngs, .400 hitters, batting champions, no-hitters, etc, etc.
WORLD TITLE OR BUST!
NOTHING LESS WILL DO!!

Fish,
If the Red Sox lose in the World series again, they have accomplished very little as the curse is still very much alive ! The goal is to win the world championship , not to just get there. Every time the Red Sox have got to a world series in the past, they have surpassed the Yanks of course since they are both in the American leaugue ! You are on the same track as I am but just look at many of the other Boston fans like Wil who think they have already accomplished something huge ? If they lose the World Series... just another Red Sox failure !
Let,s put this curse to rest ! Go Boston !

Don't get me wrong I would love to see the Sox win the WS but 2004 will go down as the best season in Red Sox history regardless. The fact that they smacked down the Yankees with an historical (as in never been done) comeback will be talked about much longer than the WS itself will be. Ruth was first a Red Sox then a Yankee - his sale from the former to the latter is the basis of the so called curse which of course any sane person knows does not exist. Not since the 1960 WS when Bill Mazerowski shocked the baseball world by knocking off the Yankees with a walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th of game 7 have the Yankees been so humilated. Comming back from 3 games down is the ultimate payback for Red Sox Nation against it's most hated enemy and there is no World Series win that will surpass the incredible joy Boston fans now feel because of what their heros accomplished. Wait and see the WS will be anti-climatic compared to the highest drama imagainable that we witnessed these last 4 days. Red Sox fans can't get enough of Sportscenter replays of the Johnnie Damon Grand Slam, a highlight that now can forever replace Bucky Dent's pop-up homer over the wall at Fenway way back when. Even the Buckner error now pales in significance to the great comback of 2004. Oritz, Veritek, Schilling, Millar, Cabrera, Damon, Lowe, Foulke, Ramirez, and even Martinez and the others are now permanant fixtures in Red Sox lore to be ever remembered as long as there are Red Sox fans on the Earth.
wil.
