Those of us old enough to remember the horrors of the pre-2004 Red Sox era just
cringe at the abject stupidity of GOOGLE's 'World Series' search results. The eagle-eyed folks at
WBZ/CBS Boston tracked this down: If you type "Red Sox World Series Championships" into a GOOGLE search box, you get the
correct listings of 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918, 2004, 2007 and 2013.
However, you
also get a listing for the
yet-to-be-captured 2018 championship! How can this happen? Doesn't GOOGLE realize the
negative mojo hex they just put on
The Carmine Hose? Sure, in excess of 80% of all MLB trams who have a 2-0 World Series lead go on to win
The Fall Classic. But now, if we
lose this thing, we will
forever blame some Millennial jerk at GOOGLE's Mountain View, CA headquarters who knows jack-squat about baseball or curses. He will be our
Steve Bartman.
Thanks a lot, meathead!
