The Marlins Win Streak

by craig on Jun 19, 2006 7:38 AM EDT in News and Rumors

While in normal life I don't consider myself to be a superstitious person but when it comes to baseball, for some reason, I am.

I know all the stats that the Marlins have amassed since May 22. I was initially going to report them but lightning storms kept robbing my place of electricity. After a point, since I wasn't able to report them and the Marlins kept winning, it was time to honor the streak from my location.

For reasons that I can't explain, I'm from the Crash Davis school on streaks:

"I told him that a player on a streak has to respect the streak.

You know why? Because they don't -- they don't happen very often.

---

If you believe you're playing well because you're getting laid, or because you're not getting laid, or because you wear women's underwear, then you ARE! And you should know that!"

When the streak ends, I will recap it.

May 22

You know, that's the day they turned it around in 2003 too. (Well, that year they lost on May 22 and began a long win streak on May 23.) I like to think that somehow I have something to do with it, since that's my birthday. :)
