They lose

(we do a lot better with the A’s and the Padres)

And THREE of those losses were blown saves by Armando Blownitez. So, the Heir of Mayor SHOULD have been 16-3. Next year, my son is arbitration eligible, so I figure Blownitez hurt his chances at the big payday.

This might shed some light on a few of us.

”...what activities you all do that just guarantee a Giants loss.”

wake up. eat and drink. breathe.

...I was in one for the first time on Thursday and got to watch Cain’s shutout. So clearly, if you get both Grant and I in the suites, the Giants would be unstoppable.

I’m 3-1 this year, and the only loss was the Lincecum balk game, so I’d say my presence helps the team when the umpires don’t intervene.

This year I have been spending some Sunday afternoons working around the house, and so have been unable to sit and watch the games. So i have been listening on the radio, which has been a complete 0-fer for me including the game Cain-er started vs. the White Sox, last weeks game vs. the Brewers and today vs. the D-backs..

Today I vowed to stop this practice. When I need to do yardwork, or any other kind of work and cannot watch the game I will record it and watch it later.

If I eat the same lunch as the one from the previous day, I break up the good mojo during a win streak. Don’t dispute it. It’s science.

am 1-9 so far this season… and i noticed that everytime i sit on the home side they lose, so i sat on the visitors side for the detroit game when Bowker hit that HR and they won, but last game i went to vs. Mil they lost and i was on the visitors side
oh well

I have a few superstitions, none of which work. I realized this year I was being an idiot, so I don’t do them anymore.
1. Sit in the same spot when they’re doing well. If I move, I think it will cost them.
2. I always watch the game with a Giant t shirt on. If they win, I wear the same one the next night. I change if they lose.
3. if the game is on Direct TV, I think it’s good luck to watch on channel 696, which is the Giants’ home channel, rather than the same feed in the Direct TV grouping, even though the grouping is better because you can simply go up and down with the remote to watch other games during commercials.
4. If I’m going to the game, the Giants never win when I wear my favorite jersey, and if I wear it and they lose, I feel like it’s my fault.

I was born in 1955, and the last year the Giants won was in 1954. Game, set and match.

Hmm.. I’ve been to 3 Giants games this year… and I’m 3-0! lucky me=)
Went to a Lincecum game vs. the cards, where bowker hit his 2nd homerun.. Sanchez game vs. the Mets, and Zito’s game vs the Nationals (so many homeruns that game.. was totally “wtf”).. rawrrawr wish i could find time to go to more! Maybe I’ll get to see one of those famous Giants losses =/

I don’t have any Giants win/lose superstitions, but I do force myself to go take a 15-20 minute run/jog when they win.. just my lame little attempt at staying in shape for the summer. luckily for me, I don’t have to go that often.

when i pull an “LA” and leave the game early with a lead we blow it. when i stay until the end we win and i get into an altercation.

guess who’s crackin’ knuckles in two days.

Each game on the third friday of the month, I have to shave one square foot of my body each time the opposing team scores a run.

No matter what I do, they keep losing. Unless there’s some kind of fluke and they win. I haven’t noticed a pattern.

“If they play a good team, they lose … if they play a bad team, they win.”

It’s been 12 years since I last saw the Red Sox lose at Fenway Park. I’ve been there 12 times and they’ve won every time. I even had tickets once, decided not to go at the last second to hang out with my little cousins (4 and 2), and they lost that day. I have the juju.
