"The Chris Curse'

There's a running joke around our house called the "Chris Curse". This all started with us going to Seattle Mariners baseball games with and without my son Chris. Everytime we've taken Chris along, the Mariners have lost. This goes back so many years I don't think Chris has ever seen them win. This streak even continued into the season where the Mariners won 116 games. We saw them play in Oakland (twice) and they lost both games. Keep in mind they only lost 46 times that season. Well, we attended last Wednesday's game against the L.A. Angels and lo and behold, the Mariners won the game. I am sure this only happened because Chris wasn't there. I personally wanted to call him and thank him for NOT coming, but his step-mom would have NONE of that. I also believe that if ALL the opposing teams the Mariners play hired Chris to attend the games, the Mariners would have a season record of 0-162. This wouldn't be much of a slide, because the Mariners have lost almost 100 games in each of the last 2 seasons. All this probably doesn't make much difference to Chris anyway, because I think he'd rather sit in the Pyramid Brewery that's next to Safeco Field and drink micro-brews instead of going to the game anyway. Which, now that I think about it, makes more sense to me then paying 8.00 for the warm, watered down, 10 ounce cup of light beer they peddle in the stadium...............
