	WhoWins(tm) -- Post-Season 2004: How Boston Suffered; What Boston Missed
		Here is how one-sided the 2004 ALCS was after its third game: New York held a lead after 48 of the 52 half-innings played, the team were tied after three of those half-innings, and Boston held a lead after only the second full inning of Game 3.
		In one sense, the 2004 ALCS victory falls far short of offsetting all those Yankee triumphs; after all, even the Brooklyn Dodgers managed to capture at least one playoff series from the Yankees (i.e., the 1955 World Series).
		Throughout the 2004 post-season, the rallying cry for the Boston faithful was "reverse the curse." Not "end the curse." Not "halt the curse." Not even "lay this accursed curse to rest already, for the love of the Bambino!" Reverse the curse.

		In the same breath you may wish to scorn the Yankees for an equally impressive collapse.
		For that reason, I'd say last year's ALCS was a far better series, just from a baseball standpoint.
		But history is a powerful force, and I think it is unfortunate that because of the 'history' that was made at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night, this series will have a legacy it likely does not deserve, except by Red Sox nation.

		The wonderful memories of that 10-3 win over the New York Yankees, the culmination of an unprecedented comeback from three games down in a seven-game playoff series, are likely to be a bit fuzzy, according to Harvard University researchers studying the effects of emotion on memory.
		The study of 76 baseball fans appears to show that pleasurable memories tend to be less accurate than unpleasant memories.
		Study results also show that Red Sox fans not only had less accurate recall, but were more confident in their distorted memories than the Yankees fans were with their negative memories.

	Baseball Toaster: Mike's Baseball Rants : 2004 ALCS Leit-motif?
		Last year the Red Sox withstood a shellacking at the hands of the Yankees in game thee of the American League Championship Series, 19-8, and then went on to take the next three games by a total of five runs.
		However, the Yankees won the three other games in the series by a total of seven runs, and in so doing they clawed to within one-half game of first place, a feat that seemed inconceivable for most of the first half of the season.
		The biggest difference between the last game and game seven of the ALCS was perhaps that Al Leiter was a guest commentator for FOX during the playoffs last year.
