Goodbye Curse!
Eighteen years to the day after the Mets' Jesse Orosco struck out Boston's Marty Barrett for the final out in 1986, Keith Foulke, the Red Sox' closer, fielded a grounder from Edgar Renteria, who wears Ruth's No. 3.The series was over, and catcher Jason Varitek pounced on Foulke between the mound and the first-base line. The rest of the team poured from the dugout and the bullpen, a joyous throng.

The only bad thing about a Boston team being in the finals? CLICK BELOW TO READ
"..My only pet peeve about having a Boston team in the Finals: When the Boston mayor makes the stupid bet with the other team's mayor. Drives me crazy.
For instance, before the World Series, Mayor Menino of Boston wagered a bunch of Boston beer and food products (Legal Seafood's clam chowder, a case of Sam Adams beer, 11 pounds of Dunkin Donuts coffee and a bunch of other Boston-related stuff in exchange for Anheuser-Busch Products, Toasted Ravioli, Bissinger Chocolate and some other St. Louis goodies from Mayor Clark Griswold.
That's a bet? Those are high stakes? "Oh, no, we lost ... darn, we're never gonna replace all that clam chowder; I never should have let him sucker me into that." Please. I hate this stuff. Just one of these times, I want one of the mayors to throw something out there like, "If you guys win, I'll sleep with a transvestite ... if we win, you have to try heroin and speed at the same time." Now THAT would get people talking."

And, lest we forget, the curse was lifted under a full moon and eclipse. Talk about confluence....

Wow! Danny praising the Sox! My life is complete. I have nothing left to say. Watching the whole series with Chuck & the Sox fans in Maui sure was very special.

My dryer finally gave back 86 years of the Sox that it has been stealing! Charles how does it feel to see the Sox win from such a far away distance?
