One funny thing I came across this afternoon: in the 4 major sports teams St. Louis has had that have made it to their respective championship games/series, those teams representing St. Louis have lost to teams from the Boston/New England area in their most recent appearance in the championship.
NBA: St. Louis Hawks defeated by Bahstan Celtics in the late '50s
NHL: St. Louis Blues: lost to Bruins in Stanley Cup 3 seasons in a row (if I'm not mistaken) '67-'69
NFL: Adam fuckin' Vinateri... Rams lose to Pats in the '01 Super Bowl in Jan '02
MLB: yep
so I can only hold out hope that the Pats don't lose to Big Ben and the Steelers this Sunday, and that the Rams actually ruin the Pats unprecedented 20-game winning streak!
