Starting to sink in: The bad dream that was the last 4 games of the ALCS has turned out to be real, as Daniel Drezner reminds me. I guess the law of big numbers says eventually the other guy will win, so you gotta tip your hat when they do it in dramatic fashion. It just makes the World Series a little less interesting when you know who's going to win. After all, the curse doesn't really kick in till the Sox get to the Fall Classic.
