Tonight, the Red Sox will triumph

Tonight is the impossible Game Seven, between the Red Sox and a team that began 3 - 0 and then lost the next three, between the Red Sox and a team that whipped them 19 - 8 but then lost the next three, and did I mention that the Yankees lost the last three games? Tonight they are still in Yankee Stadium but the Red Sox have momentum going. They will start with a better pitcher, they are going to play over their heads, and nobody will choke under the pressure. It will be a long game. The Yankees will not go down easy. Their fans will not be good sports about it. But they, too, will learn to say "wait until next year." I'm going out on the limb, here, but the view is good. From the end of this limb you can see the World Series.

Whoa! What a bold prediction- and it came true too!!! I am proud of you- were you wearing your Reverse the Curse shirt?? Hope you had fun watching the game - we all did (except Greg)!!!

If I could consistently predict winners like this, I'd make my living at the race track betting on the horses - however, this just seemed like the natural consequence of all things good and beautiful in Nature!
