Killer B's

The Red Sox have been killed by people with their last name or first name beginning with B.

It starts with the curse of the Bambino--Babe Ruth.

Another devastating loss: Bucky Dent.

Another one: Bill Buckner. Don't forget that Bob Stanley (the real goat) was on the mound in 1986's fateful game 6.

Yet another one: Aaron Boone.

The Red Sox currently have one member in their starting lineup who have the killer B name and it's Mark Bellhorn. He plays a pivotal second base. They also have starting pitcher Bronson Arroyo--he may figure into the curse...he just may.

The Yankees have starting pitcher Kevin Brown and they have outfielders Bernie Williams and Bubba Crosby. It's unlikely a starting pitcher will contribute to the curse, that is, do something that is strange and weird that contributes to a Red Sox loss--he's also not a "no-name," which is why people like Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone get middle names such as "Fucking." If anyone was to cause a curse-like stir, it would be Bubba Crosby.

But if the Red Sox play the Astros, we're talking some serious trouble. Biggio, Bagwell, Berkman, Beltran.

Watch out for those killer B's, Boston. Those are the guys who hurt you this time of year.
