« Comeback?? | The Conversion »

Can hope actually be a bad thing?

Even I have to admit, Red Sox fans have it tough. I whine about the Reds not doing anything since 1990, but that was a mere fourteen years ago. The Red Sox haven’t seen a championship in, let me do the math, whole criminy, 86 years. Not that they haven’t been close.

But it’s those close ones that hurt the most. Carlton Fisk gave them hope in 1975 with his extra inning game 6 homerun. They had hope in 1986 when they were a strike away from winning the World Series, only to have it slip through their fingers. And then there was last year. I think Pedro knew who his daddy was well before this past September.

Now we come to 2004. The Red Sox have already made history by forcing a game seven while down 3-0. They actually have a chance to comeback against their archnemesis. But, they won’t.

I don’t believe in the curse, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Anyone who’s a Red Sox fans believes in the curse. They’ll tell you this morning the Red Sox are finally going to take it to those Yankees, but deep down, they know the truth.

The Red Sox are going to lose.

And you can blame David Ortiz for getting your hopes up. He pretty much carried the Sox through games four and five, giving them their “chance.” Had they lost in four or five games, it probably would have been a lot less emotional. But now we have a game seven. It’s down to one game. It’s win or go home. But I’ll say it again.

The Red Sox are going to lose.

I’m sorry. I’m just trying to dampen the pain you’ll feel tonight. I’m not sure how it’s going to happen. It might be a dramatic bottom of the ninth, three run walk off homerun by some role player like Tony Clark. Or, it could be over by the third inning with a 8-0 score. But for the second straight year, or is it 86 straight years, Red Sox fans will be disappointed.

Oh yeah, and the Cards will even up the series with the Astros.
