There is a code in the dugout that can be summarized like this, "Never summon the Jinx." It is the reason that you see pitchers tossing no hitters sitting in solitude on the bench while the rest of the team crowds like sardines on the opposite end. Inversely, it is why teams that are losing turn their hats inside out and act like goofballs while trying to rally back. Luck is a fickle mistress, and it is a mistake to tempt the bad incarnation or alienate the good.
Since the age of five, I have been a baseball player and the Jinx has become as real to me as Mike Morgan's weather tie. That is why it drives me insane to listen to the Thunder Nation ignorantly risk the wonderful run the team is on by sounding the Jinx's siren song.
