Story also mentions the "Curse of Mike Mussina" and the "Curse of A-Rod"


I'm a Yankees fan and I'm undecided on whether I believe in the Curse of Mattingly or not.

 

The Curse of A-Rod spans every team he is employed by, not just the Yankees.

And I will defend Mattingly in that:

a) it didn't help that their pitching didn't match their offense (Dennis Rasmussen anyone?);

b) the strike ended the 1994 season with the Yankees 6 1/2 games up on the Orioles in the AL East, ending Mattingly's best shot at a pennant;

c) Mattingly batted .417 in his only postseason series in 1995;

d) Steinbrenner spent the entire 80s trying to buy a pennant and didn't win one until homegrown guys like Jeter came up (which, magically, happened during Steinbrenner's suspension from baseball, go figure).

 

Not sure why a franchise with four World Series titles since 1996 would feel any sort of curse. All coincidence.

 

Only Yankees fans would feel a "curse" after not having won a title in less than a decade. : No sympathies at all.

 

Because arrogant stupid Yankees fans (ooops, doubly-redundant) have to whine about not winning the World Series EVERY year...


kinda the reverse of Cleveland loosers whining over their teams sucking forever ;D

 

As long as the Yankees fans are recognized as arrogant and stupid, I'm cool with that.

 

Since 1992, the Brewers have suffered from the Suck Curse.

 

It's been since 1983 that the Baltimore Orioles have suffered from that curse, but as long as peter "the anti-christ" angelos owns the Orioles, that streak will continue.

 

I curse the Yankees every day. Several times on Thursdays.

 

At least they've finished with a .500 record since then, unlike the Pirates.
