Rising Hegemon
The greatest choke in baseball history ended the only way it could have ended, with the Red Sox gagging on the Camden Yards lawn one last time. Truly unbelievable. This feels like revenge for 2004 and 2007.So sayeth Boston writer Dan Shaughnessey.
First, of all -- considering this same franchise won two championships in the last seven years (after a haitus of more the 3/4 of a century as their fans never tired of telling us -- see pretty much every hour of Ken Burns' Baseball) AND won in 2004 because their hated rival blew a 3-0 game lead in a best of seven series (speaking of "chokes" greater than this self-congratulatory greatest choke) you should just shut the fuck up already.

Losing to the O's had to have hurt given how much Baltimore has sucked this year.
People were calling them the Red Flops long before Dan was born. Numerically they may be the greatest choke, but better Boston teams than this crew have missed the brass ring. People in Boston just need a little humility. Two good years out of a million does not a dynasty make.
102 years, 11 months, and 16 days since the Cubs last won a World Series. 65 years, 11 months, and 20 days since they were last in one. A record of futility unsurpassed since the Neanderthals.
I need say no more.

so I've heard said
is much hated by the brahmins
and the street folks of Boston
who would restore public hangings
for him alone at the end a rope

we're told in boston that the team lost it's "chemistry" but to be swept,and bludgeoned by a team who lost 90 games this season was tough to choke down.good thing for the Pats,and Bruins,to help us forget such things...
Mark just wants to reissue "The Curse of the Bambino - undated edition" I pay no attention to this gibberish.
