I don't believe in the curse either, but it is quite extraordinary the things that keep happening to them. I do root for the Yankees, but I can be sympathetic. I'm still trying to figure out how they lost the 6th game of the 1986 World Series. I also am a lifelong Giants fan; now that they have gone 50 years without a championship, and considering the way they lost to the Angels in 2002, are they finally earning a place alongside the Red Sox, White Sox, and Cubs, or is it a bit premature? Do you have to suffer a little longer to earn that status?
To Mark S.- using a Chet Baker quote to discuss a curse is quite amusing- did you read his biography "Deep in a Dream?" Talk about a man who except for his music led an almost entirely cursed and doomed existence.
