The baseball gods have smiled upon those who don’t like the two teams in the World Series this year.

For those who are true baseball fans, whether or not they are fans of either the Boston Red Sox or the St. Louis Cardinals, the tradition between the teams this year should draw you in and never let you leave the television set.

This is a match-up between teams who have the worst luck in baseball, Cubs fans still don’t have a say in this matter, and one of the most solid organizations in baseball.

Put those who swim in money aside and you have the Cardinals standing in second place for the total amount of World Series rings for an organization with nine total.

The team has become, year in and year out, a rock in the National League Central, and over the years has been the model of how to run a team in either of the leagues.

They, of course, are facing the team trying to break every jinx and curse known to man in the Red Sox. If they continue playing the way they have so far this season, the baseball gods must be on their side as well.

After trying everything in the book to lose the American League Championship Series to the Yankees, they seem to be starting that trend again after looking at only the first game of the World Series.

First off, has anybody seen a more awkward attempt at fielding anything in left field after watching Manny Ramirez out there on a regular basis?

I’m still not entirely sure if it was humanly possible to slide the way he did when he tried to catch a sinking line drive, which ended up being his second error in a row.

Besides Ramirez’s two errors, the Red Sox committed two more errors and blew three different leads to the Cardinals before Mark Bellhorn put the game away with his home run in the bottom of the eighth.

So if those two trends in the game don’t prove that Boston’s luck has changed, I don’t know what does.

So here’s to the Red Sox, who have apparently found a way to win that nobody else could pull off: winning despite making the majority of mistakes in a given game.

You’d think the Cubs and the White Sox would be paying attention because those two teams know something about making mistakes. Now they just need to learn how to win regardless of the mistakes made during the game.
