    Bases loaded 1 out, no way we get out of this and come back to win this game.

    It is over.

    How short are Nieve's arms?

    It can't generally be a good physical attribute for a pitcher to have midget arms.

    Failed on both r-jinx attempts.

    Perhaps, to the disappointment of some, that is due to the fact that there is no such thing as a reverse jinx.

    Oswalt seems to be leaving the ball up in the zone WAY too much. IMO, there is something wrong with him.

    didn't watch, but it says online he left w/a strained right groin. Oswalt and his groin issues.. hopefully somehow this was lingering and it was holding him back (and when healed he'll be back to badassedness)

    There is TO such a thing as a reverse jinx.....it is all about the timing....I was too desperate in the one above to work....it has to come at the right time to work.

    I let the team down, I will try harder today.

    The Rangers are sure to sweep, no need to even watch the game.

    I suggest creating a separate voodoo/jinx thread where people can discuss this nonsense.

    On a legit note, has anybody heard any updates on Oswalt's groin injury?

    Edit: I just read that Oswalt is saying it's his hip, not groin.

    Here's a twist on who has the best 3-4-5 hitters in the league.

    Is there a worse (in AL parks) 8-9-1 than Wiggy-Towles-Bourn.......UGLY

    Bad players don't deserve cute nicknames. He ain't no Miggy or Big Papi.

    Call him Wiffy or just Wigginton at this point.

    Wiffy needs to crouch down more in his stance or something. His mechanics and balance are bad enough as is. Too much body movement before and after he swings.

    I hear you.

    I was hoping to see Towles and Bourn come up with back-to-back hits.
