86 years! And Kerry and Clinton's presidencies = 42+44 =86 bush!

[Cha]

12. Smart minds think alike!

I thought I discovered it, LOL!

:toast:

[TankLV]

16. Actually, I think so to - this is a good omen.

Started thinking that when they made the series.

4. It's a sign

My husband, who is totally unsuperstitious and an atheist to boot, insists that it's a sign from God that Kerry will win!!!!

6. I'm in Illinois, close to St. Louis

so I'm kind of a default Cards fan. We have one of the consistently best teams and the Sox stomped on us.

A coworker summed it up yesterday; "I think the Sox are a *wee* bit more hungry for it."

Yet one more good omen, are we counting yet?

- The "w" vanishes on a sign behind Laura Bush's head in a photograph, leaving the word "omen"
- Lunar eclipse, which others have mentioned is "blood on the moon", superstition for upheaval of the current administration.
- Sox win!

9. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Fuckin A!! I can't wait to go to the victory parade!!!

[LEW]

10. I'm a huge Cards fan, disappointed but

Happy for Boston - They played great and what a come back!

[tritsofme]

11. Cubs fans have waited patiently for 96 years

Congrats to you guys...but when the hell is it gonna be our turn?

[Hailtothechimp]

13. When, oh lord, is it gonna be our turn?????????

But hats off to the Red Sox. They certainly deserve it.

[Oak2004]

15. Next year, when we actually have a couple players not on the DL n/t

[aldian159]

17. No shit

Why the hell not us? Hell, the last time we were IN a world series radiation was still falling on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

[JackDragna]

20. Never!

The Red Sox just gave away the best player in history. The Cubs are guilty of offending a goat! A goat, ladies and gentlemen. Hhahahaha!

Your friend, Jackdragna.

P.S. Go White Sox!

[zippy890]

14. THIS IS AN OMEN

BELIVE AND IT WILL HAPPEN
KERRY WILL WIN!!!!

Im from Boston and this is HUGE!!!!!!!!
No more flipping CURSE....change is in the wind!
Something fundamental shifted tonight, the course of human events is moving on to a different path..

One of the greatest things about this red sox team this year, is how well they all got along, very diverse group, multi-cultural, no cliques..and...they never gave up

18. Three weeks ago,

They knocked down a house that babe owned.

Three weeks ago, there was a nondescript house on a side street in Watertown, MA. According to the newspaper the bambino owned it at one time, but never lived in it. (plausible, the neighborhood was mostly built in the early 1920's) lower right corner. Later reports raised some doubt of the claim.

I live in the house dead center of the frame. We were woken up by some loud thumps, and the sound of a hard working diesel engine. Looked out the window, and there was one of the extra large, economy-sized backhoes, and the house was now mostly kindling.

Apparently they are going to build a small condo on the lot. Had I been more certain of the buildings history, I should have grabbed some fragments to list on ebay.

They did knock the house down, and the paper said he owned it... Makes as good an excuse as any for the curse breaking...

[loudsue]

19. Better yet, Boston victorious in BUSCH stadium!!!

Another omen, yes??

:kick::kick::kick:

[JackDragna]

21. My god, we can only hope so.

Baseball is just baseball. If Bush loses, the world will celebrate.

[Lexingtonian]

22. thanks!

We're gonna parade. We're gonna have hangovers and arrest records by sunup.

And we're gonna speak for all but Yankee fans in chanting "Suck it up, Steinbrenner!"
We know the True Enemy of real baseball and our team knocked him back down to that flame-filled place that is his true home good, for once!

23. On the Night Of . . .

. . . a lunar eclipse over a stadium whose name sounds like . . . .

An omen indeed. And a welcome one. I've been a Red Sox fan for life and I cried for joy.
