This team is firing on all cylinders right now. We are about to go to " the scene of the crime". Prepare your anus for game 6 replays. I was hoping the national media had put those in the archive for good by now, but they can't seem to come up with much else to talk about.

probably gonna have to win a WS until the media doesn't make it who they are anymore. Right now they will be the team that was a strike away twice

Baseball players are a superstitious bunch, its just baseball etiquette
Nadel was mentioning it. Beat writers were tweeting about it. I just don't think players care much about such stuff as long as it isn't happening in the dugout.

I know they don't care what folks say on boards like this one and still if someone would have mentioned those words on here they would have been lambasted by some others I would think.

Superstitions baffle me anyway though.

At least we've actually been to the World Series and won some World Series games. I'm no baseball historian, but I think the Mariners have never been to the World Series and the Astros have never won a WS game.

Haha. I brought it up an hour ago and Murph brought it up at the beginning of the game I found out. The more popular this board becomes the harder it is to keep up with all of the posts.

I was a little surprised Moreland didn't take over, at least in the 9th.
I hope that doesn't happen in a future Game 6 with Prince making an error.

Honestly, I thought about mentioning it myself, but thought the better of it for exactly the reason you said.

I mean seriously. How much effect can a poster have on something from thousands of miles away, and posting in somewhat of a vacuum to begin with?

Yeah, that is why superstitions baffle me. Things like that make no sense. I can see not mentioning it to Colby so it doesn't mess with his head, but other than that 3 million people could mention it and it would have zero effect on Colby.
