Yankees and Redsox game 7 tonight has nothing to do with the curse of the bambino. In fairness to the guys on the field right now, the curse has no impact. It's sports, its competition, getting there and winning is hard to do period. Better teams with bigger payrolls might do it more often, but recent World Series winners: Angels, Marlins, and Diamondbacks speak to the fact that the best team on a roll can win it all without respect to curses, payrolls, major market bias, or team history. This game tonight is fun because of the rivalry, the personalities, and the history the two teams share. The winner gets bragging rights and maybe a chance at Roger Clemens.
Schilling was amazing last night by the way. Pitching on that leg and doing that well was amazing. Did you see the blood on the sock? One of the things people are talking about today was his statement after the game. The statement that God was with him. I for one get it, but the sports radio guys are missing it today. It's not that God was for Schilling and for no one else, but a Christian can definitely make it through trials by relying on faith. In Schilling's case, reliance on God to help with the pain, the pressure, and performing to his best ability makes perfect sense. Even in a loss, Schilling could have received the same benefits. Christian athletes, or regular Joe's for that matter, can give the glory for the good things in their life to God.
What I expect tonight: I feel like one of the offenses will wake up and post 8+ runs. I think the other team will be stuck around 3 runs. That said, I'll pick the Yanks 8, Sox 3; A-Rod will be big tonight and the Sox will leave a bunch of runners on base.
