The hardreading staff at Two-Daily Town asked this question two weeks ago.

Now the D.C. set is wondering the same thing.

Before last night’s World’s Serious Game 2, Politico’s Playbook posted this:

SPORTS BLINK – SHAUGHNESSY JINX? Boston Globe A1, “Red Sox are the whole show: Boston thumps bumbling Cardinals, 8-1, in World Series opener,” by Dan Shaughnessy: “When do the St. Louis Cardinals get here for the … World Series? … [T]he Red Sox demolished the Cardinals … in Game 1 of the 109th Fall Classic at Fenway. … This looked like the 2004 World Series all over again. The Cardinals never had a lead when they were swept by the Sox in ’04 and they picked up where they left off, committing three errors, one wild pitch, and allowing four unearned runs in one of the sloppiest performances in World Series history.”
