Jinxed

For my entire life I have been a die hard Phillies Phan. I was happy on Wednesday evening when the Phillies disposed of the Dodgers and advanced to the Fall Classic. For the first time as an adult I am going to get to enjoy this experience. The one thing that could make it better would be the Rays beating the Red Sox so I would be able to attend a World Series game close to home.

This scenario was about to become a reality until I heard "You must be excited to be able to go to a game of the World Series and see your Phillies" The time was just after 1030pm and the score was 7-0 Rays with the Rays holding a 3 games to 1 advantage. 7 outs was all Tampa had to get to advance to the World Series, JUST 7 OUTS. I felt the tingling sensation when something bad is about to happen and immediatley said "I am jinxed". I knew at that moment the World Series was going to be the Red Sox vs. Phillies. As the game wore on it was 7-4, then 7-6 courtesy of one of the most hated men in Philadelphia, JD Drew. If I had any doubt at all that I was not jinxed JD Drews HR over the Right Field wall eliminated that. At that point I just turned the TV off and spooned my Boo on my way to sleep knowing I would wake up to a Red Sox win.

So my prediction is to have the Red Sox beat the Rays the follwoing two games and move on to the World Series to face my Phillies. I will never complain about my Phillies being in the series because this only happens every 20 years but it would have been so sweet to go into Tropicana Field and watch my Phillies play the World Series in the visitors ballpark.
