I live in LA, so I'm not sure if others were put in Wheaties Boxes, but I saw a Josh Beckett Wheaties box after the '07 World Series and bought it ... and we know his injury cost the Sox a repeat.  Well, this past year I bought a KG Wheaties Box, and bam ... no repeat (barring a miracle).

I'm suspecting a Wheaties Box jinx?

The real curse is Lucky.  Ever since he was fired, the Celtics players kept going down with injuries, then they get the most improbable matchup in the first round (because of an improbable loss by the Bulls at the hands of Toronto and an improbable win for Philly over the Cavs), then Ainge has a heart attack and then the C's lose the first playoff game at home.

Please hire another Lucky!
