Plum Crazy

A team of people in Sudbury, MA, in an hilarious attempt to break the "curse of the Bambino," are searching a pond for Babe Ruth's sunken piano. It is said that Ruth tossed the piano into the pond the offseason after the Red Sox's last World Series win.

Now, I could go on here about how a team needs to have more than one or two consistently good pitchers in their rotation to win championships. I could discuss the need for a solid bullpen. But to what avail? It's much more amusing to let people think it has to do with a sunken piano.

This is also another of those times that being part of a huge conspiracy pays off. Remember how Cigarette-Smoking Man on the X-Files was behind the inability of the Bills to win a Super Bowl? Well, now that I am part of a huge conspiracy, I will make certain that the Red Sox do not win a World Series.
