This curse, that's what!

Yogi is right, it ain't over 'til it's over. The playoffs aren't the World Series the last I heard. This prediction made here and now on the 23 of Oct is that the shredded and worn-out Red Sox will be on an overnight at Camp Alton behind the athletic field before they get their act together regardless of whether it's Houston or St. Louie. Be nice to see Clemens put a hurt on 'em, too, if he still got it in him to groove it on the Sox. They'll be rockin' in Boston if this stage is ever set up.
Nevertheless, he'll be pumped if the Astros can get the job done tonight. Beyond emotions of the moment, St Louis has got the horses, played in a tougher league and will be in better physical shape. They proved in the regular season they can walk the walk if Houston can't do it. Houston, on the other hand, is baseball's hottest club, without a doubt. They don't lose 3 straight to win 4 straight. They win consistently.
The Red Sox have been playing with a horseshoe in their rear but the Astros or the Cards will get the job done in a fashion to make National League fans whistle a winning tune. The so-called curse is intrinsic and inherent -- how else can you explain gold-gloved Buckner letting a garden-variety, common ground ball go between his legs and losing a Series for the Red Sox on it?
