Superstitions

[calsnowskier]

What weird habits have you guys taken to performing the last couple weeks?

I know Stokes has refrained from watching the games and MSG has avoided this site during the games. Anything else?

I watched NLDS games 1 and 2 with my bro, then games 3, 4 and 5 were during the day so we did not watch together. We watched together again for NLCS game 1, and we decided that we were done watching again until the Giants lost when we were not watching. We skipped game 2, then the Giants lost game 3, so we decided we could risk it again. We watched game 4, and it started again.

We have not watched together since. I will not watch with him until we have at least a 2-game lead.

i worked with this chick who is a big A's fan, and the first two games of the DS we were talking hella shit to eachother. after the Giants lost, I've stopped talking shit about other teams.

my brother cant watch the top of the 1st. every game we've won hes missed the top for one reason or another.

I watched Game 2 and 4 of the CS with friends. im not sure i'll be inviting them over in the next week.

 

[sfsportsfan]

The Cain jersey for home games...the generic road jersey when they are away.

Oh, and I attend Tron games.

I wore my 2010 world series t-shirt for games 5 and 7. I think I am going to wear it on game days for each game.

It will be a bit odd wearing it under my work clothes but we all have our crosses to bear.

You might ask around, maybe you won't be the only one!

My wife's worn the same longsleeves Giants shirt through all of the six elimination games, and I've told her she can't wash it. LOL! The other part of the superstition is that she can't watch the games. She's not a big fan anyway. The Giants had their 5-run rally last night after she went to our bedroom, where there is no television.

Never really thought I had any 'real' superstitions ..... until the WS started. Prior to that I was always bouncing between Gameday and the SportsHoopla forum. Didn't really watch on TV. Once the WS started I donned my Giant garb and parked my ass in front of the TV.
Really expected Verlander to cruise through that game. When that didn't happen ... the superstition was born! Game 2 was with the same garb on (not yet washed ... which is now driving the wife nuts). Can't wash it until we at least lose a game. Not sure if water and/or soap destroys Karma. Did manage to take a shower but also gave it moderate karma consideration at the time. Also can't go back to the forum until the game ends. Posting during the game itself may also affect Karma. IMHO this is one of the signs of a real fan. At some point in your life you realize that your everyday activities can somehow influence the final outcome of a sporting event that is being played on a national stage. Now that my fellow Giant fans ... is just fucking awesome! That makes us all 'part of this team'!!!!!!!

I have to tell you, I am liking wearing my Giants shirt under my work clothes. I kind of feel like Clark Kent.

Is that some unholy hybrid of Will Clark and Jeff Kent?

Black cap on non game days and orange bill on game days.

Got a new dog last Saturday. We haven't lost since


Oh and by the way. 2 years ago I got a Greg Jennings fathead. It was the week of Christmas. The Packers didn't lose a game until a year later vs. Chiefs (including a SB win) Sadly the poster had to be removed for painting and we couldn't get it back on.
