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!





LOL
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}
