At least you're jinxing the Sox, and not my Angels. Hallelujah for users like Dammit!, who know who to cheer for.
Ummmm...yeah. I think the Red Sox were cursed because they traded a great player to an arch rival. The Galaxy's real problem may well be appointing a great player to the level of his incompetence (upper management). Yes, Lalas fired Sampson, but was probably the second least stupid thing he ever did. I mean, you last won a cup what...a couple of years ago. Oh, boo hoo. Go talk to any Columbus fan. I'm sure they'll be sympathetic. You guys played great last night. Quite a performance, but it came down to a couple of bad PKs. Otherwise, one of the best games of the year. Be proud of that.
How about the curse of Lalas? The guy gets to take over two teams coming off of MLS Cup championships. He's had 3 national team coaches under him (and Klinnsman would be the fourth!). What does he have to show for it? Nada........not one piece of hardware in 4 years. His first 2 years, SJ and the Metros BARELY made the playoffs, only to get dumped quickly. The last two with LA, they don't even MAKE the playoffs. Yep, the coaches suck........
