A dull World Series broke the Curse., 30 March 2005
Author: Spider-Lou from Bristol, CT

Well, the baseball story of 2004 was the Boston Red Sox' struggle to acquire Alex Rodriguez. They failed miserably, but the New York Yankees got him, and Sox fans cried foul. Eventually, both teams made it to the ALCS. The Sox got a pounding the first three games. Once again the Evil Empire would reign supreme? Nope, for the Yanks strangely lost four games in a row to the Sox, even to the bloody ankle of Curt Schilling. The only thing ARod could produce was a slap of a ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove.

Hooray! The Evil Empire has been toppled! That was *the* series to remember, especially for Sox fans as it was closer to lifting an 86 year old Curse of the Bambino.

But the actual World Series was really lackluster. The St. Louis Cardinals, with the best record in baseball, beat the Houston Astros in the NLCS. But they may has well not have shown up in the WS. Their bats produced nothing, and their pitching was nil. I would have preferred a much more exciting series and even expected the Cards to win. But it looked like the Sox were riding high on their Yanks sweep and were not about to let themselves lose. They swept the Cards four straight. Adios, Curse.

A World Series to remember solely for historical purposes, and in no way the actual game play. Well, I guess as a Mets fan I can no longer yell "Buckner!" at Red Sox fans, because it won't upset them anymore.
