How do you get doubled up from first that badly on a play in front of you with someone on second?

But I'm less right! The Red Sox traded Ruth to the Yankees, which brought about the "curse."

Being from Boston, originally, it was local lore that was rather widely known. Time and distance can make one forget, though.

But what matters is that it couldn't have been the curse of note since the Mets weren't the victims of that and the sox overcame the curse some time ago by actually winning the series.

He's clearly got some deep seated anger management issues, as shown by the thread we're currently in.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is OTT.
Hoping for an injury to a ball player.
Head hunting refers to a pitcher purposely throwing at the head of an opposing player.
This can cause injury or death of a ball player and suggesting that Mets pitchers throw at the heads of Royals players has no place on DU.
This poster should be banned.
