I swear I'm bad luck for the Reds
Edited on Sun Jun-11-06 01:27 PM by Droopy
I turned on the Reds/Cubs game while it was in the bottom of the 4th inning to see a 0-0 pitchers' duel. The Reds went down easy in the bottom of the 4th then the Cubs came up to bat. They put up a 2 spot in the top of the 5th. This happens quite a bit with me. I think the reason the Reds are doing as well as they have been this year is that I have not been following the team too closely.

Have you got any teams that you want to see lose? I'll root for them for $20 a game. Maybe I should go on Ebay.

On edit: I stopped watching the game to write this post and while I was doing that Ross cranked one out of the park for the Reds in the bottom of the 5th. Case closed.

6. Yeah that might not work
I'd have to root against myself and that would cancel out my powers.

8. Sounds better than what I had
I just went with quick and easy and got KFC. Maybe I will head out to Red Lobster tonight. It's been a while since I've had a nice dinner.

4. When the Tigers come to town, will you follow the Reds closely?
(It's an Interleague thing.)

7. I'll make a small bet on the Tigers
That ought to lead to a series sweep for the Reds.

13. oh, man...I got the same sickness...*proof in my post!*
I'm a Seattle Mariners man, I bleed blue dammit!!! And, in 2001, the Mariners tied, for the best record ever in baseball, they won 116 games...out of 162. And do you know, how many games I watched that year? I watched 30...and in every single one of them, they fucking lost...what are the odds of that? I swore to god, when I didn't watch, they would be sweeping, everyone! I check in, on a game, watch it, and they blow it...worst blown game, that pissed me off beyone belief, was their game against Cleveland....

I do believe Seattle was ahead by more than 10 damn runs....and Lou took out most of the heavy hitters in the 6th inning or so...and guess what the hell happens! The indians make a comeback, and win! I was so pissed...

So, I feel your pain...
