Bill Hall is preventing runs alright.

That made me chuckle, I was thinking the same thing listening to the game.

8-game streach out of one power 50 shirt is Cal Ripken-like.

When I was in school an old girlfriend gave me a Badger Hockey jersey for Christmas...they won the first game I wore it to snap a losing skid so of course I had to wear it each game after that, without washing it. The one game I didn't wear it they lost of course. I figured it was a road game so I'd be ok, but no. By the time I was sitting in Detroit watching them win the Nat'l Championship, that thing was quite beer soaked and disgusting...but it was undefeated, must have been 20 games without a loss.!! It even worked at the '94 Rose Bowl...that disgusting thing had mythical powers and still sits in my closet. Although it has been washed since, it does bear a few mustard and secret stadium sauce stains from a failed attempt to have it help the Brewers in the late '90s. It's powerful, but it did have limits.

 

Moral of the story...Keep the Power 50 shirt going!!!
