Oh. That Russ Ortiz.
Oh. So, that's what it feels like to root for a team that catches all the breaks? I could get used to it. Groundballs found holes. Baserunners were allowed by the bushel, only to be stranded or erased on double plays. Every horrible pitch from Benitez went out of the zone; every good pitch was put in the right spot.
Now it's time to fess up. I received an e-mail from Peter (beanpj to us McC folk) at Burnt Orange Nation that expressed his reluctance to change his underwear during the winning streak. I usually wouldn't post something so private, but, well, you know. I'm not shaving because I have magic win-streak stubble. There is definitely no fronting on magic win-streak stubble.
Open pre-game superstition thread.
