...read with amusement (and a little disdain) your article on the poor Red Sox fans, who for 86 years have been waiting patiently for a World Series championship. In 45 professional seasons (37 in football and eight in NBA basketball), New Orleans hasn't even had one of its home teams appear in a title game or series. So although I can certainly relate to the Boston sports fans' pain, let's have a little sports sympathy for a town that has really earned it. Guy Duplantier New Orleans...
Sure, you know he hit .387 in the ALCS, with three homers and 11 RBIs, but what did Red Sox slugger David Ortiz say first when he triumphantly entered the clubhouse after one of his homers beat the Yankees? MLB's DVD of Boston's curse-reversing 2004 World Series run--with locker-room footage and sound via microphones set by the bench and diamond--brings new detail to baseball's most dramatic postseason.

The Sox tied the game in the ninth, and Rudy York won it in the 10th with a blast to the last row of the bleachers--and I was the only one in the park yelling. I'm happy for today's Boston kids...
...glad the Red Sox won the World Series, if for no other reason than we no longer have to hear about the Curse of the Bambino. The reason the Red Sox hadn't won a World Series since 1918 was simple: the team was never good enough to win. Now that the Red Sox have won, they can go back to playing their usual role as second best to the Yankees. But it will be without any excuses...
