Has the curse shifted?
The NY Times asks that question today:
No.
Just ask the Red Sox, who will tell you that a series of bad personnel moves, overpaying for dwindling and non-existent talent, and in many cases poor coaching/managing, does not a curse make. It just makes a team that will have limited opportunities to set themselves up for a run of good luck.
Has there been a permanent shift in the karma between New England and the New York metropolitan area? Some form of astrological phenomena that transferred to the Yankees the aura of doom that defined Red Sox Nation for 86 years? Is it now enveloping the rest of the sports teams on either side of the Hudson?As someone who lived with a "curse" for 26 years, let me say this in response:
No.
