i would love for the Red Soxs to win the World Series but i think i would love it even more just to see them beat the Yankees this year.

I noticed the percentage being high for them on the front page poll. i started pondering on recent polls that Letsrun has taken. it seems that most of the time and i could be wrong when these polls are done lately the person polled high loses? Does anyone know the percentage on the polls that have been correct?

i figure it\'s a bit ridiculous, but i\'m feeling a little superstitious for my favorite team.

don\'t want to jinx - Thanks

GO RED SOXS!!!

Oh and my boss wants to know why it\'s called the World Series being that no other countries are involved?

I know that officially it's the 51st state, but some people (granted, mostly just Canadians) think of Canada as another country.

As a lifetime fan of both the Chicago Cubs and the Minnesota Vikings, I have more natural jinxing power than anyone.

Don't worry, the Red Sox will do just fine jinxing themselves without your help.

Hey Alan,

I hope you get struck in the head by a baseball and have to spend a night in a hospital. I don't want you to be seriously injured, just to learn not to joke about these things.

Bonedog,

Soxs? Isn't Sox a variant spelling of Socks - already plural, so no need for "s" (and if there was, it would probably be done like foxes).

Oh, and Boston is probably disproportionate in terms of running fans, largely as a result of the marathon, also high collegiate density. So, that may explain the number of Sox supporters.

Go Sox!

World Series = American Champs

Although they are probably the best baseball team in the world, no other sporting super powers play baseball seriously so a hollow World Title at best.
