Poll question: Red Sox fans. What is more important?
Finally beating the Yankees in the post season? (defeated in 1978, 1999, 2003)

or

Finally winning another World Series? (defeated in 1946, 1967, 1975, 1986)

2. Beating the Yankees.
Edited on Thu Oct-21-04 03:34 PM by WilliamPitt
Not just beating them. Eviscerating them. This was a sacking, a total pillage, an unprecedented routing.

I have been devouring all the reports on that last game, and on the series, from all over the media. Go to the sports page on the New York Times website. They have some extraordinary articles in there about what took place last night. Check it out.

If this doesn't say it all:



...well, I just don't know.

3. Other: I believe that one must go with the other
In order to exorcise the World Series demon, we also had to exorcise the Yankees demon. I don't think this could happen any other way.

4. Both!
It was important to beat the Yankees because of the curse and because, well, they're the Yankees. :) But it's also important to win the Series to FINALLY put the curse rumors to rest and make all those people who said it would never happen eat crow!!

GO SOX!
