    The Braves have played 8 short series in the past 16 years and have won 0% of them.

    I think a nice edit to the thread title will do wonders to keep the jinx demons away, kind of like fool’s parsley or rosemary.

    I did delete the Soroka thread like I said I would though.

    I would like to agree, but 1 for 14 says your theory is assuming too much.

    Considering how good some of those Braves teams were, I would say 1 for 14 actually supports my theory of extreme parity in baseball.

    Green on one side, blue on the other a matter of perspective. But 1 for 14 with that talent was a failure no matter how much lipstick you put on that pig.

    How are we going to regulate these jinx threads going forward. Should we clog the offenders in public. I fear we didn’t rectify this thread fast enough or efficiently enough.

    I think we are overdue for a public clogging.

    I feel like if we held one it would be well attended.

    3 for 14 to me. The Yankees are a **** stain on baseball and I refuse to recognize anything they do until they play on a level playing field. Next time they earn a title will be the first.
