SONIC BOONE
Apparently, the respective baseball curses of of the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs live on. One day after the Cubs got bounced from the playoffs, the Red Sox got the same treatment in the same dramatic fashion. Five outs away from their first World Series appearance in over 15 years, Red Sox starter Pedro Martinez suddenly collapsed and allowed the tying run to score. Then, in extra innings, Yankee Aaron Boone hit a shot into the New York night and before you knew it, that darn Frank Sinatra "New York, New York" is blaring through the Yankee Stadium speakers again.
The Curse of the Bambino?
The Curse of the Billy Goat (and not that poor fan)?
Now, I'm a believer.
*sigh*
