This thread is cursed !!!

The Curse of the Bambino was a superstition cited, often jokingly, as a reason for the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series in the 86-year period from 1918 until 2004. While some fans took the curse seriously, most used the expression in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

The curse was said to have begun after the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth, sometimes called The Bambino, to the New York Yankees in the off-season of 1919-1920. Before that year, the Boston Red Sox had been one of the most successful professional baseball franchises, winning the first World Series in 1903 and amassing five World Series titles. After the sale, the once-lackluster Yankees became one of the most successful franchises in North American professional sports.

Talk of the curse as an ongoing phenomenon ended in 2004, when the Red Sox came back from a 0-3 best-of-seven deficit to beat the Yankees in the 2004 American League Championship Series and then went on to sweep the St. Louis Cardinals to win the 2004 World Series.

The curse had been such a part of Boston culture that when a road sign on the city's much-used Storrow Drive was vandalized from "Reverse Curve" to "Reverse The Curse", officials left it in place until after the Red Sox won the Series in a 4-0 sweep.

Merely by reading up to this point you may have gotten infected, if you find yourself:

Wakening up in the night and finding it difficult to get back to sleep.

Wakening up late, missing breakfast and the bus.

Do you usually find the weather is "against you" (rains when you want to go out, etc)

Have you ever had the experience of hearing someone calling your name when no one else is around.

Have you noticed items like cutlery falling on the floor.

The toilet paper runs out before you’re finished?

If the answer to any is; yes! Then the only known cure is to send a large donation to A2K for the necessary incantations to be ritually chanted.
