I do hope the other guys make to WDW today. But my favorite Curt Shilling made it and that's all that matters. They reversed the curse, Yeah!

In just the past decade the Florida Marlins won two World Series, the Arizona Diamondbacks won one and the Anaheim Angels won one ... all expansion teams, two of which didn't even exist 15 years ago. So the Red Sox finally don't disappoint, although you have to give the Yanks credit for a monumental collapse, and we're all collectively supposed to be happy? Nah. What the Patriots, today's result aside, have done. Now that -- in today's NFL -- is impressive!

Originally Posted By WDW1974 ^^^Well, I am NOT. John Henry the Red Sox principal owner almost destroyed the Florida Marlins, while claiming poverty. He didn't have $200 million for a new stadium, but he had a large chunk of the $800 million the BoSox went for. I can't be happy about that ... And my mug got refilled quite often (with the blessing of at least the three CMs I asked).
Originally Posted By Boardwalkbum Ok, heres my two cents worth. As a lifelong Yankee fan let me say that I've only recently gotten the taste of the ALCS out of my mouth. The series was the Yankees to lose and they did. Now, having said that, let me give credit where credit is due. The Red Sox were certainly the most excititng team to watch this past season and they earned a well deserved (and yes long overdue) world series victory. Die-hard Yankee fan though I may be, I was smiling when the Sox won and I smiled watching the video of Schilling in the Saab on Main St. riding with Mickey. Great job with the video. I smiled watching David Ortiz as well. I dont smile for Pedro. At any rate, it was nice to see some of the Sox get thier "I'm going to Disney World" due. Stay tuned for the next Red Sox Main St. parade in 2090.
