4 down, seven to go. They shouldn't even mention C.C. Sabathia's name in the same breath as Becket, after last night's game. Cy Young contender indeed.
Doc, let's hope your spelling error doesn't start a new Sox curse. :whistling:
For those not familar with the curse...
The Curse of Rocky Colavito (curse supposedly began in 1960) is a phenomenon that supposedly prevented the Cleveland Indians baseball team from winning a World Series, or an American League pennant, or reaching postseason play, or even getting into a pennant race, following the 1960 trade of right fielder Rocky Colavito to the Detroit Tigers for Harvey Kuenn.
The trade by the Tigers and Indians for Rocky Colavito and Harvey Kuenn was unique in that it was the home run champ of the previous year, "The Rock", who hit 42 home runs, for a singles hitter, Kuenn, who had won the batting title in '59, batting .359. Fans in both cities, Detroit and Cleveland, generally disapproved of the trade.
I must say, it sure is a good time to be a sports fan in Boston. The Sox, the Pat's, Boston College... what's next, the Celtics back in the NBA finals?
