Tomorrow night, baseball will witness something that has never happened before: a seventh playoff game after one team has trailed 3-0 in the series. The Boston Red Sox, behind a gutsy pitching performance by an injured Curt Schilling, won a third straight game from the the Yankees, forcing their hated rivals into a seventh game. I find this delightful, in part because Schilling is one of my favorite players (ever since his amazing performance in the 1993 NLCS), in part because the hapless Red Sox remind me so much of my own hapless Phillies, and especially because it sets the stage for literally unprecedented event in baseball. I can't imagine what the announcers will do with themselves when they cannot fill the pregame chatter with insights like, "In Game Sevens after an extra-inning loss, the home team has won 78% of the time."

That leaves one question: will the power of sheer novelty be enough to overcome The Curse? Tune in tomorrow at 8pm eastern to find out.
