Yes I agree with you.  The CurseReserve message is more positive although
the YH message is actually truer.  Although the % of people that
legitimately believe in a "curse" may be high in Boston, I would think that
I would get a larger portion of "Yes, I hate the Yankees" over "Yes, I
believe in curses caused by trading a large man to another
team."  CurseReverse is actually more empowering because you have the
collective suffering, share the experience with the other sufferers, and
try to break out of it.

Either way, I hope the Boston series goes to 5 games cause I have a feeling
the Yanks will need 5 games to win this round too.
