    If the Cubs and the Sox have a curse...

    Why isn't the media talking about the Buffalo Curse? We were robbed year after year too.

    Because we didn't sell the Bambino to the Yankees, or refuse the entry of a goat into Wrigley Field. We are instead stuck with the bridesmaid curse. Always a bridesmaid, never a bride.

      Buffalo = curse...it's implied.




      For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

        What, 4 consecutive SB losses isn't considered a curse? The forward lateral? The skate on crease? What are we just very unlucky?

        If you ask me, it's a gosh darn curse.

          Who did someone in Buffalo piss off to deserve this "curse"? What did Buffalo do wrong? Who or what put this curse or terrible luck on the city of Buffalo?

                      pre modern NBA?? that's the best you can do for Ra Cha Cha...Buffalo used to be the 5th largest city in the country, the center of much of the grain industry, the origin of the Erie Canal, a major player in heavy industry...then McKinley got shot and the railroads came...

                          I thought you were talking about major sports teams. Rochester Royals won the 2nd NBA Championship.

                          Now as for business...Rochester used to be a booming city...Kodak, Xerox, Bausch and Lomb, Jello, and a bunch of others that left the city.

                            Please. That's all we need. To adopt a loser mentality.

                              At 1-4, I'd say we're already losers.
