TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA

So the other night, while the Dodgers were setting a MAJOR LEAGUE record for most wins to start a season at home, Vin Scully started talking about the number 13. He even went so far as to explain that the back of a dollar bill has numerous 13 ramifications and he actually spent 3 to 4 minutes on the subject.

During last night's game while the Dodgers were leading 6-0 after five innings Vin casually brought up that there probably weren't any TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIACTS popping up tonight.

I thought to myself that the number 13 damage had already been done with the Manny story but then remembered that the team is a team and winning is the name of the game. I was a little tired and decided to hit the sack early thinking that the 13 jinx was just another silly thing along the road of numerous silly things.

I woke up this morning and started reading the newspaper and was shocked to learn that the Dodgers had lost the game 11-9. And they lost the game to the team with the worst record in baseball.

I really don't think there's much more to say about this.
I really don't think there's much more to say about this.
I really don't think there's much more to say about this.

13

13

Now if the Dodgers lose 13 games in a row I think it will mean the end of civilization as we know it.

oh...by the way
I'm not writing anything about Manny for the next 50 games.
