MAGIC NUMBER: 0. CLINCHED!!!

[redbirdjazzz]

Alot of people wanted the '06 number thread locked because it's baseball, and superstition is a huge part of it.

Obviously, no one actually thought the thread had anything to do with the Cards faltering down the stretch.

Have you ever gone back to the same bar to watch a playoff game where you watched Game 7 vs. the Mets? Or wore the same shirt?

Same thing. Silly superstition. But part of the game and part of the fandom.

I ordered the same pizza and drank the same tequilla for every home game of the '06 playoffs. I played Dream Weaver on youtube before every Weaver start, and I still wear the same hat when I watch the games at home.

I wore the same white Cards home jersey for every game once I noticed they won almost every time I wore it. Oh, and I married the girl that I started dating during those playoffs.

Zeus wins the Most Superstitious Fan award!

I don't even remember that thread from 06.

Maybe change the title to Playoff Hopefuls Number to appease the tinfoil hats.

I had bloody stumps of fingernails left by the end of the playoffs because apparently me eating a bag of pistachios had something to do with the Cards winning. Go figure.

Man those things are hell on your fingernails trying to open.

I'm starting one on opening day next year.

I remember the number was stuck on 5.

So do we delete this thread and revisit it when its 30? 25?

That's up to cards2468. It's his thread.

Personally, I think you guys are nuts.

It's your board, and I'm sure you were right. But what if there is a .000000000000001 chance that it really does make a difference? You ok with bringing down the Cardinals because of your confounded logic?

So it's gonna be like that, huh?

I don't see the difference, but fair enough. In my defense, you weren't getting some of the crazy PMs I was getting.

Man, I wish I had archived that thread.

You got PM's to shut down the thread.

OK, that's too much.

Our magic number is 45 (or 44 now). That's a fact. Keep the thread, who cares. It effects nothing.

It might not effect anything, but it could affect the Cards.

Just sayin'

I'm starting one on opening day next year.

See, starting one at the beginning of the year wouldn't be nearly as bad. Because it's kind of a joke from the start.

Here, it's like we think we are close enough to start counting.

Like saying after the third inning "ok, only 18 more outs for that perfect game". Too early.

I bet the PMs included:
