The Curse of “Paint It Black”

OK, I’m calling it.

The Boston Red Sox allow the Rolling Stones to destroy their turf - enough so that the Fenway ground crew had to get 40,000 square feet of sod from a farm in southeastern New Jersey to replace the grass on their field.

New Jersey?

The birthplace of Derek Jeter!

If that’s not begging for a new curse, nothin’ is. Look for the Red Sox to now lose 17 of their remaining 33 home games this season - starting tonight.

UPDATE, Aug. 30th: That should have been “12 of their remaining 22 home games this season - starting tonight.”

I think I need an eye-exam!

I’d agree, if the original turf didn’t come from the same farm.

ha! Geez, Brad, get a funny bone.

Here’s one Jersey girl wishing it would be true.

Well, then, the curse will be for double dipping! {wink}
