SERIES: AL championship series; Tied, 3-3.
Forget the Curse of the Bambino. The Boston Red Sox have a chance to end the curse that has plagued every major league team that has ever slipped into an 0-3 hole in the postseason.
One victory away from completing the greatest comeback in playoff history, the Red Sox will also try to hang an epic AL championship series collapse on their archrivals from New York when they take the field for Game 7 at Yankee Stadium.
``For the last three days, we kept showing up saying we had to win today,'' Boston manager Terry Francona said following his team's 4-2 win in Game 6 on Tuesday. ``And because of that, we'll show up tomorrow and say the same thing. Come to the ballpark and it's the most important game of the day. Carries a little extra weight.''
After last year's thrilling seven-game ALCS between these teams, one that ended with Aaron Boone's walk-off homer in the bottom of the 11th for New York, many predicted that the pennant could again come down to a decisive game between the Yankees and Red Sox.
