My RED SOX just one three in row KEEP THE FAITH[:D][8D][:)][tup][yeah]
Another Red Sox fan eh? Bergie is one, too. Me, I’m a Twins fan of course, so I hate the Yankees almost as much as you do.
So, do you believe in the curse?[swg]

Karl Marx once said “Religion is the opium of the people” . I say pro sports is the opium of the people.
Obviously asked by someone who is not a citizen of Red Sox Nation!!!
Of course the curse exists. The fact that the Red Sox won the ALDS is clear evidence of that. Any old loser of a team could lay down and not make it to the playoffs. Any ordinary team could give up after making the wild card berth, figuring they had done their best. But it takes a truly cursed team to bring their fans to the brink of extasy year after year (*) only to let them down at the crucial moment. They’re just setting the trap again, getting our hopes up.
You’ll see. The Red Sox may even go on to win the pennant. They could go to game 7 of the series. But until they dig up the bones of the Babe and apologize, they will not win “The Big One”.
Been here before, been disillusioned before.

(*) Okay, so the Red Sox don’t bring us to the brink of extasy year after year, some years they just lay down right after the All Star Game. It makes for better copy written this way.
Apple pie, baseball and trains. American. [;)]
Good to see you over here Ed, thanks for stopping by.
Well, the Twins look to be repeating last year’s performance, so guess who the Sox will be playing?
It’s true, I don’t live in Red Sox Nation, I live on a small island just off the coast. When the situation warrants, I cross over to the mainland. One more Twins loss, and I’ll be on the ferry.[swg]
John, it’s very difficult to maintain a completely “one track mind”. If it helps any we could liken the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox to that of Lionel and MTH.
Speaking of MTH, if you’ll please open your 2004 catalog to page 62 and 63, you will find that baseball and trains do indeed seem to mix. Not on my layout though.[swg]
Didn’t K-line once make a model of Yankee’s stadium???
I see trains as a little more intellectual pursuit than guzzling a 12-pack and watching a ball game.
my scratchbuilding skills exceed over my interllectual skills .So freedom of speach is the winner . Sorry Johnblair I’m a true RED SOX fan!!! .If I went of topic ,ho cares it’s my right to express
Actually I enjoy having the ballgame on in the background while working on my layout. By the way, I hate beer.[swg]
Yankee’s fan here!! Twins and Yank’s tied top of the 9th[:D][:D]
Whaddya 'spect from a kid born in Manhatten!!![8D]
the Sox will make it to the world series, but the Cardinals will sweep them[:D][:D][:D]
I just became a Red Sox fan, as my Twins went down in flames[}:)].[:0][:p][;)]
Nothing personal, but Yankees Suck!!![swg]
Very possible. Of course the Yankees could knock them off in the LCS, or the Cardinals could fail to win the pennant. But you’re dead on in that the Red Sox won’t win the series this year!
How does that phrase go??? "We believe!..in “The Curse of the Bambino!”
(btw, my condolences to Big_Boy. The Twins did a good impersonation of the Red Sox. Think you guys need a new manager.)

Ed (proud citizen of Red Sox Nation)
Absolutely ANYBODY but the Dodgers or the Yankees !!! [:-,][|(]
I’ll be humble[8D]
At least to keep it on a train theme- does’nt look like a “subway series” this year either!!![:)]
Have fun, play with your trains!!
Haven’t you all heard? The curse has been broken! During one of the Yankee/Sox series at Fenway this summer, a foul ball line-drive hit a kid in the mouth sitting in the third-base box seats. The kid lives in Milton, MA in the same house Babe lived in when pitching for the Sox.
By the way, the kid has a couple of teeth knocked out. Ya gotta be aware when sitting in “the good” seats!
Jon [8D]
Yankees/Red Sox for the American League pennant! This will be good!
World Series= Twins and Red Sox!!
I would like to see the TWINS beat the YANKEES .stop them early, the curse has been reversed The only way for the curse to be broken is in FENWAY Then let the BABE rest in piece.
what are those red sox things? [%-)][%-)] or must I be baseballfan to understand…
