Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 4783216, member: 12414"] So how long did it take the Red Sox to get over the curse of the Bambino. When I was growing up the Yankees beating the Red Sox was a given. Jester believed it. I know baseball players tend to be the most superstitious since it is a game of failure, but they think about it. And that was 50 years after the curse. I get the players will say that it has no impact but is that really true. Just say this year we play Duke in the final four. How many times do you think the media will bring up the track record. How many times will the players read it. Biggest upset in championship history when it happened in 1999. And scared is not the word I used. What did Yogi say 90% of this game is mental the other half is physical. I am guessing you are not a fan of the sage burning ritual. Because on that one we could have some fun. Of course they(the players) would not care if they were not even born when we last beat them. But they will read about it. Sometimes that can be motivation but more often than not, doubt is never something to visualize before a game. I understand fans would like to see this series happen but I just don’t think it is the right thing especially if it’s a Cameron and XL thing. That is kind of a lose/lose imo. [/QUOTE]
