[ja002h]

Post removed because I made a serious error in judgement and jinxed DD. May I die a thousand cruel deaths.

"When I watch him in the cage, he has the best pure hands on the team. I'm not kidding. When Royce is right, he uses his hands better than anybody on the team."

- Nedley, regarding Royce Clayton's hands

 

Don't believe much of anything that comes out of Ned's mouth, except when he is talking about Brady Clark.

 

"Brady's extremely valuable," Yost said. "He was one of the bright spots for me last year."

3 shutout innings by the D-man

 

The dreaded in-game "s" word. C'mon, no jinxing DD. It's all on you now ja002h.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Is it just me, or have people gone completely-over-the-top superstitious lately?

[burniebrewer]

Nobody's chatting tonight??

[ja002h]

Imagine if it worked that way for the players too.

 

No, that's the thing, it does work that way for the players too. That explains what Grieve's been up to.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[ja002h]

Yeah, that's my run out there. Sorry guys.

[burniebrewer]

Is it just me, or have people gone completely-over-the-top superstitious lately?

 

No sooner was "shutout" said, the Rockies are on the board the next half inning.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I'm PRETTY sure that WASN'T because of the comment made on an internet message board that the Rockies scored. PROBABLY.......

[ja002h]

And as soon as I remove the culprit, double play.http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[endaround]

Well, I was just thinking the Brewers could use a double play and they got one. Obviously I have control over Larry Walker's legs.

Roco:

 

"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

[ja002h]

Way to battle a single in there Brady!

So if I guarantee a Ginter K, does that jinx him into hitting the ball? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[ja002h]

Indeed it does. I'm the man.

(I meant making contact, mind you; not reaching safely)

[burniebrewer]

Wow, RoCo the wet blanket. Just having some fun, man.

[DuWayne Steurer]

I know it was in fun. It was just a general comment about the level of "superstitiousness-ess" that's been running rampant lately. That's all.

[ja002h]

Oh don't let 'em do it to you DD!

[endaround]

Wow, Craig Counsell was just intentionally walked.

[burniebrewer]

I just love the superstition of baseball.

[DuWayne Steurer]

OK, Serious part of post:

In all honesty, I'd hope that a group of intelligent, reasonable people would KNOW that talking or typing or writing about an event happening is not going to stop it from happening, based on superstitious beliefs.

 

Fun part of post:

I too enjoy the superstitions of baseball, and agree that they liven up the game and add some fun.

 

I hope I've been very clear about the intent of this post, and that it won't be misconstrued as an attempt to suck the fun out of the game.

[burniebrewer]

Hey, who you callin' intelligent?http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif I gotcha, RoCo, it's all good. When I played, I was a very superstitious guy and that just carries over. I would never believe that a guy sitting at home effects the reality of a game occuring many miles away.

[burniebrewer]

That's the Clayton I know. High and outside--strike 3 swinging.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Is Matt Kinney numb? Kolb just hit him with about half a dozen seeds, and Kinney reacted not-at-all. I wish I had that kind of job.

[bullox]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA!!!!! Kolb's flickin seeds at Kinney! That is hilarious http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
