"Curse of the Bambino my arse..."
Wrong. It's all part of the "Curse of the Bambino."
If Boston lost and did not get to face the Yankees, where they will choke within 6 games, it would have been the cause of just one of the other, lesser curses. It only counts as "the Bambino's Curse" if the Boston fans hopes and expectations are at a super critical high AND PLAYING AGAINTS THE YANKEES IN A POST SEASON FACE OFF. For this is the ultimate cruelty and Ruth really gets his rocks off as the Beantowne fans have that much more of a "crash" back to earth

It's true. The University of Southern Maine even has a whole course in thier Sport Psychology Institute devoted to this.
