Lady Luck is a fickle mistress — just ask the Sox and Yankees

Written on May 1st, 2009 by Evan Brunell3 Comments
MLB: FEB 17 Alex Rodriquez Press Conference

This decade has been the most monumental in the franchise’s history. Not only did new ownership arrive, but Fenway Park was revitalized, a Nation was born (in the media, that is), a new generation of stars (Nomar, Manny, Pedro, Big Papi, Papelbon, Pedroia) put their stamp on their team… oh, and there were those two World Championships as well.

All this was done thanks to the incredible work that Theo Epstein and the rest of the baseball operations put in to give us the players that we root for every day. They are, to be certain, the reasons why we have our first two rings since 1918.

But let’s not count out Lady Luck. Lady Luck is a fickle mistress; you never know when she’ll turn on you.
