The Red Sox win Game 1 11-9 on a home run by Beck lookalike Mark Bellhorn, putting them three wins away from the end of the Curse. I may well be in Boston next weekend for the unprecedented celebration, and a Sox win would I suppose ensure that no one in Boston will give a shit if Kerry loses. (Well, maybe in Cambridge they would).
I'm off to DC in the morning for a conference and then Philly on the way back; I may make an appearance at the Andrew Sullivan/Wonkette blogger confab, set to feature an appearance by Minnesota rock legend Bob Mould. Be back Tuesday; watch for both my Yankee essay and my official presidential endorsement.

Wouldn't that just suck for sox fans if the curse was finally broken and it had to occur in St. Louis. Almost worse than winning the damn thing!
