FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Red Sox fan adds high-jinx to Yankees rivalry
A devilish Boston fan working on a concrete crew at the $1.3 billion stadium covertly buried a Red Sox T-shirt under what will become the visiting team's locker room to jinx the Yanks, two construction workers told The New York Post yesterday. "In August, a Red Sox T-shirt was poured in a slab in the visitor's clubhouse. It's the curse of the Yankees," one worker said. "Nobody knows about it. ...

Red Sox-Yankees rivalry starts another chapter tonight
Sox and Pinstripes | Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees – The Greatest Rivalry in Baseball — ... my posts earlier this year about how the rivalry has changed because it is the Sox, and not the Yankees, who are the better team.

Oh Sox Fans. You So Silly.
Baseball & The Boogie Down — After logging out of my Hotmail account I was redirected to the MSN.com homepage. A title of an article caught my eye: Yankee Stadium Curse? Sox Shirt May Do It. In short, a Red Sox fan who was doing some construction on the new Yankee Stadium buried a Red Sox t-shirt under what will soon be the visiting team's clubhouse in an attempt to put a curse on the Yankees. Funny, yes. A curse on the Yankees? Mmm, don't think so. I'm inclined to think that this act is the kind of thing that would work against the Red Sox. This can be spun either way and it's obvious that beliefs will be ...
