I’m never been a baseball fan, but I had to stay up tonight and watch the New York Yankees lose to the Boston Red Sox after being up 3-0 in the series. Never has a team went up 3-0 in the ALCS and then lost the next three games. The Yankees did. Never has a team lost a series after being up 3-0. The Yankees did. Yankee hater I am.

Three games in the series were among the longest ever in MLB playoff history and Boston battled to win two of those in extra innings. Boston outplayed New York in every aspect of game 7 and deserved the series win. The curse is over and we never have to hear about it again. It’s on to the World Series for the Red Sox.
