Two Days ago, Trey2317 had a great comment about how some MLB teams have overcome the SI Jinx and won the World Series.

1991 Twins (ALCS)
1992 Blue Jays (ALCS)
1996 Yankees (prior to World Series)
2001 Diamonbacks (middle of WS)
2004 Red Sox (middle of WS)
2005 south side club (middle of WS)
2007 Red Sox (leading into WS)

I'm not a beliver in curses or jinxes or ghosts .... But we have precedent going against us.  Check this out.  The Cubs can't seem to catch a break when they get featured on S late in the year. 

1969, 71, 84, 98, and 2003 are all examples.  Somehow we managed to blow it in 89 and 207 on our own.

The Home Run Derby website is running a Baseball Mascot Tournament at homerderby.com.  They're in the second round and the Phillie Phanatic is getting beaten by the Chicago White Sox' mascot, something named Southpaw - which appears to be just another ripoff of the Phanatic. 

Are you kidding me?  That Southpaw thing is currently beating the Phanatic by 82% to 18%. 

What's wrong with this picture?  Go Vote for the Phanatic !!

Cheap Sexson Mondays (Bud and Bud Light bottles priced according to Richie Sexson's batting average) will continue at Norm's Eatery and Ale House in the Fremont neighborhood ... provided that Sexson is picked up by someone.

Here's an Interview with the owner of Norm's about Cheap Sexs on Mondays.

Bottles of Bud never were more than $2.50 over the past year.  If there's one thing Sexson was good for ... it was cheap beer on Mondays at Norm's.
