Remember Mr. Bill, Sox fans?

Before 2004, the Red Sox were perhaps the most jinxed team in playoff history.

The ghosts have not totally been exorcized, as the Boston Globe’s Adam Kilgore writes:

“Lester, the new ace, is charged with keeping at bay the familiar - yet nearly forgotten - feelings of inadequacy and dread that once shackled this organization and all of New England this time of year.”

Oh please, the Angels are true choke experts of MLB. At least the Boston Red Sox have World Series wins to back their record, unlike the Angels. Plus, the Red Sox play in a normal size division that actually has more than one competitive team.
