Tonight's game...

In 1315, the King of France moved against the Templars, seizing their assets and trying many of them for heresy. Among these knights was Jaques DeMolay, Grandmaster of the Order. He was beheaded.

When, four hundred years laters, the King of France was executed, legend has it that a man yelled "Jacques DeMolay, you are avenged!"

Bill Buckner, you are avenged.

Boston Red Sox: 3
St. Louis Cardinals: 0

Boston wins the series in a four-game sweep.

Let me repeat that. The freaking Boston Red Sox are baseball's world champions.

HOOYAH!

"Bill Buckner, you are avenged!"? Nah, that won't happen until the Red Sox beat the Mets in the series.

But it's pretty clear that the Curse of the Bambino is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD.

Buckner's error came with the Sox one out away from winning.

The Sox were one out away from elimination when things turned around. I think it works.
