Who knew that Liners, Sliders and Scoops has the power to jinx people? In case you don't look at the box scores from every single Major League Baseball game every single day like I do, Joe Mauer took the weekend off, at least from the base-hit club. He took oh-fers on Saturday and Sunday, meaning he experienced his first two-straight-game period of hitlessness this season.
Let's see, with this newfound key to life, I have to figure out what door to unlock. Okay, I've got it: I'm going to make a prediction that Joseph Checkler, the publisher of Liners, Sliders and Scoops, WILL NOT win $1 million at any time this year.
By the way, this whole jinxing ordeal reminds ME to remind YOU that CAPITAL LETTERS are FUN to use, and also that there IS ONE MYTH that's REALLY NOT A MYTH: the announcer's jinx. If a kicker has made 493 straight kicks, and Jim Nantz says so on the air, Nantz might as well be eight-feet tall, standing on the field, BLOCKING the kick. Because with his words, that's EXACTLY what he's done.
Liners, Sliders and Scoops is happy to have the same power as the New Jersey native Nantz, and even happier to know that we have NOT - like Nantz - gone on the record about our friendship with/financial support for the Bush family. (If you're scoring from home, the "friendship with" and "financial support for" links are separate links.)

You are a jinx. You know my what my stats were when I attented home Yankee games, 10-0. I attend one game with you, and the Yanks take one on the chin to your beloved David Wright and the Mets.
Sorry, you three readers of Liners, Sliders and Scoops for this tirade by a crazed fan who obviously has convinced himself that he's gone to a ballgame with me.
