Who jinxed Carlos, me or my father
So not five minutes ago, I came home from work and looked up cubs.com to see Carlos had a no hitter through seven. Immediately I rush downstairs, instinctively knowing that ESPN is showing the feat in the bottom of the eighth. I tell the family what's happening (they all just finished watching Ice Age--good thing I was working!) and plop down in front of the TV.
Before anything happens, even before a single pitch, my father says, "Just watch, he's gonna give up a hit right now."
The very next pitch the Astros batter grounds one through a hole on the right side. I start yelling and point the finger at Dad, who points the finger right back at me. His logic is that I announced the fact and turned on the TV; my logic is that he's a bigmouth. WHO'S TO BLAME, CUB NATION????????????????????
Viva la Zambrano!
