    I believe what G. Waye Lukas is referring to is that, if the Astros are fortunate enough to make it to the WS, and lose to the Red Sox, it will be humiliating/painful for any Astros fan to have to watch endless reruns/clips/footage of the Red Sox ending their drought by doing it over the Astros for the next 50 year.

    It's like being a UH fan and having to watch Lorenzo Charles and Jimmy V. every spring.

    I sure am glad that Francona did not listen to my suggestion of starting Dave Roberts over the Caveman for tonight's game.:)

    The humiliation of losing to the Sox after being up 3-0 is much bigger.

    Puhleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze yourself. Any NL team that allows the Sox to break the curse will be pummelled by the national press.

    I understand that, but I think it is comical for a fan of a team that has NEVER made the world series to say that.

    But I could say the same thing, Sam. Assuming that the Red Sox and Astros both make it, how embarrassing would it be for me to see my team lose to a team that has never made it and see that over and over.

    Well I guess if that happens, you just need to turn the TV to something else or turn the TV off or skip reading over those articles.:)

    Impossible. If the NLCS winner loses to the Red Sox, assuming they make the World Series, it would be the most unavoidable thing there'd ever be. The Red Sox winning it all would be HUGE in the media, and you'd be reminded about it constantly FOR-EV-ER FOR-EV-ER.

    Anyways, I LOVE how all the high price/supposed high talent pitchers the Yanks have gotten recently (Brown, Vazquez, Loaiza) have backfired on them and sucked when it counts the most.

    GO RED SOX! For one more game.

    It would be no more embarrassing than seeing the Bill Buckner play for the millionth time.

    You probably could say the same thing. But a Red Sox WS win is a much, much bigger story nationally than an Astros WS win (should they be fortunate enough to make it, can't jinx them)

    ... And I was going to get tickets to Game 2 of the World Series if the Yankees won. :mad:

    I actually won tickets to the game tonight (from my company), but I gave them to some real Yankees fans (friends from work) instead as part of a trade for "future considerations." Glad I'm not there right now. Then again, it's not like I gained much by staying home and watching another Miceli Meltdown.

    Let's wait until the game is over before this is discussed.

    The Red Sox sure are leaving a lot of runners on however.
