The cubbies are cursed by a billy goat (of all things).
The Red Sox are cursed by bad decision making. Hopefully, the residue of the curse plays out again this year when it looks like they have a better team on paper than the Yankees.
I firmly believe that the Red Sox team has an expectation of something going wrong or often play to not lose. The fans in Boston, exaggerate the problem by predicting doom whenever their team goes into a skid and jump all over any player that has two poor performances, trying to run them out of town. (The Yankees have this problem too, but it seems different to me. It's more "what have you done for me lately" than "you're going to choke against the Yankees so we need to kill you now, before you get the chance.") If Schilling struggles in this series, watch everyone turn on him.
Either way, it's going to be a great series. Always is.
