At long last, no more complaining about a curse... Perhaps the Cubs fans can have their turn soon.

Chicagoans will officially be able to say they are the world's most frustrated baseball fans.

After waiting for only 50 years for this, I'm certainly pleased.

But the best part is:


The Universal Law of Karma

Only one group of Boston idiots gets to win the big one in any given year.


Thus, JF Kerry will have to postpone his inauguration for another, oh, 86 years. Now THAT rocks!

I was watching Dennis Miller last night and he summed up how he felt about the "curse." I paraphrase:

"Boston, your weren't cursed when you traded the Big Bambino to the Yankees. It's just that for the past 86 years you've sucked!"

It was awesome.

Well my father will be pleased. I bet the ambulance services were very busy in Massachusetts last night.

There are baseball fans left in Chicago after all these despairing decades? (How quaint. Like turning up a 160 year old civil war veteran.)

As a St. Louisan and homer galore I can't say the sweep made me happy, as a matter of fact it miffed me to all get out. I can say this though if anyone was to be able have the joy of victory while I was tasting defeat I am happy that it was Boston. Long awaited and now its over. It will be interesting to see how they handle "winner" status now. Without the curse against them and the loveable loser tag the whole city may implode.
Besides, it also opens the possibility for me to make fun of Cubs fans more.

James, you haven't been watching the Celtics lately... then again, nobody else has either.

The city might still implode if Kerry loses, though.

Well James I don't feel good that St. Louis got crushed like that, but, I do feel good for Boston. Like I said, growing up in Chicago, it's hard not to root for the perpetually frustrated. ;-)
