I disagree. The Yankees are perhaps the greatest teams in sports, and they are expected to win every single year, regardless of the opponent. Boston is still snakebitten, and because they are so prone to losing in big games year in and year out, the nerves will get to them and the Red Sox will lose in the World Series. Hence, the curse will still live on, and it'll just be another chapter in the Boston Red Sox history where they lost with everything on the line. Whoop-de-doo. Heard that story a million times already. In my eyes, the Yankees becoming the only team in the illustrious history of the MLB to lose after being up three games to zero is much more significant than anything that the Red Sox have done. Ever. Even being the team to beat the Yankees after being down 3-0.
btw, Miracle was a crappy movie. The hockey games were done well, but the way it was portrayed as not being just a game (albeit an imortant one) between the Soviet and American hockey teams, but as something to signifiy superiority over the other country, not just in hockey, but all around, was something that I didn't like. (even though the Soviet's were the better team, no question about it, just not on that particular night)
