Exorcised
As much as I hate it, as much as I don't want it to happen, as much as it would suck, the Damned Yankees may win the World Series. They won't win because of their money bought all the talent. They spent close to $200 million to sign their ace pitchers, Sabathia & Burnett, and the liar, Texeira. These guys contributed to the Yankees winning the AL pennant.They won't win because of their veterans. Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Andy Petitt, and Mariano Riviera are future Hall of Famers who are the best playing the game right now.They may win it for one simple reason. The Curse on Mike Mussina has been lifted. Mike Mussina was a Baltimore Oriole before he signed on with the New York Yankees in 2000 off season. He was the O's ace, a position he never attained for the Yankees. When he left, it broke a lot of fans hearts. And we cursed him and the Yanks. He made it to two World Series (2001 & 2003). He lost. He lost out to the Red Sux as they sucked their way back into baseball posterity. The Yankees lost with him in their rotation. Now he's not there. They may win the World Series.
