Suddenly, the Lost Weekend in the Bronx doesn't matter so much. Suddenly, the upcoming showdown with the Yankees seems a month away. All it took was one unsightly 9-6 loss to these baffling Baltimoreans last night and reality smacked the Red Sox upside the head.

Apres le deluge , now what? Well, a possible Miracle of the Shoe, if Terry Francona is to be believed, and that comes with a parental warning, given the tardiness with which the Red Sox disclosed the severity of Curt Schilling's right ankle injury.

(Sports Network) - Boston Red Sox fans know all too well of past failure, but there&#39;s a different aura this year, and it seems their long-standing curse of not winning a World Series since 1918 may finally disappear.
