Is it just me?

Watching the Fightin Phils tonight the new guy, just traded to Atl, on the Braves comes up to bat with the Phils leading 2 - 0 and Harry says, "Hockman (or something like that) doesn't have a home run or RBI yet for the Braves." I'm thinkin', "why'd ya say that Harry?" "Ya jinxed 'im" Crack !!!! That baby is outta here! 2-1 Several innings later, Pat the Bat is up and the other announcer says pretty much the same thing Harry did and yep, you know it, "That baby's outta here!" 4 - 2 Phils. Is it just me or is there really something to jinxing a game? The little woman and I have watched our share of our kids' games over the years and she still doesn't respect, get, understand or believe the jinx thing. She DOES believe Uncle Johnny is a jinx though. He shows up at your game ya might as well surrender. He's about 0 - 4 with our kids.

The jinx definetly exists! Beware of the #17 and any combination of #'s that add up to 17. Did you know that the Jets that hit the Twin Towers were 17 minutes apart?

Did you know that Brother John was called for Palming the ball with 17 seconds left in the Game with CD leading, thus giving the Win to St. Thomas (no) Moore? a totally Bogus call, by the way...did you know that the Exit off of I-95 to watch an Eagles game is Exit 17?
I could go on....

Slim.. there is no such thing as a jinx. However, remember to put your "jock" on the same way before each event. Have you figured out how to do that, yet?? When dressed properly all jinxes' disappear. If in doubt move away from your accomplice when she starts going crazy with predictions. Hey, honey... where are my red socks? the Phillies are on tonight. And why'll you're at it wash my eagles shirt. We lost last week. Jinx, hogwash. Superstitious, Never!!
