TOP TEN | Problems that might prevent the Sox from a repeat this season

With the Red Sox reversing the curse and winning the World Series last year, many Sox fans are wondering whether this year's team can repeat. With a few new faces and an 0-2 start to the season, many fans are already questioning the chances of another championship. We at the Daily offer our reasons why a repeat may not be in the Sox' cards this year in our Top Ten ...

10. Schilling has a long road to recovery.

9. Damon will be spending most of his time regurgitating food into the mouths of birds living in his hair.

8. David Wells will bring the curse back by wearing Babe Ruth's and Grady Little's number 3. And he's an alcoholic.

7. Where's our Japanese robot? (ed note: we're on to you Matsui)

6. Since Steinbrenner has run out of players to buy, he will probably sell his soul to the devil to get the title this year (if he hasn't already).

5. Without Gabe Kapler's stunning good looks, the Sox can't distract players on the other team ... because he is so dreamy ...

4. It's the Cubs turn this year.

3. The whole team gets sick from the "dirty water."

2. Without Pedro in the picture anymore, Boston's Latino love triangle is minus one. Can Edgar Renteria win the hearts of Ortiz and Manny?

1. Since Millar's been hanging out with the Queer Eye posse, his rugged "Cowboy Up!" attitude has taken a backseat to his new metro-sexual, GQ lifestyle ... and it's freakin' us out.
