As do the Boston papers...there really was little talk of a curse until Dan Shaugnessy's book in the mid-80's that referred to the "Curse of the Babe." Maybe NY papers are more malicious about it, but Boston papers/fans/sportswriters talk about it as well.
Listen, through the mid-80's it was the Sox going every year and not the Yankees; if you want to see the reason why the Sox are finally doing it this year, look at the fact that the Sox built a strong lineup, solid top of the rotation and good bullpen. They spent the money and got results, period, as much as I hate to admit it.
They made better offseason moves than the Yankees, and that's that.
