The regular season hasn’t even started yet and the Rays are already doomed. I’m not talking about the injury to their best relieve pitcher J.P. Howell, although he will be sorely missed in April. It is the jinx that has been put on them by Sports Illustrated.
The publication’s prediction of a World Series appearance has cursed the team to failure as sure as Pat Burrell has been a bust.
In the past the Rays fans would have been excited for any kind of recognition for their team, but given the expectations for this year and S.I.’s track record it is about as welcome as an ABBA reunion tour.
I’ve decided something has to be done to break the curse, so if your ever in Tampa and you happen to see a middle aged man with a blue Mohawk stop and say hello to a brother.
Go Rays!
Aero, I also have the Rays in the World Series against the Dodgers, with the Dodgers winning in six. ANYONE but the Yankees or Red Sox in the Series!
ReplyDeleteAmen brother. The Rays fans need something to hang on to, because we see a long dry spell ahead.
