developing superstition

last night, when the Mets were winning, I had to use the bathroom. when I came back, we were losing 8-3. today, when the Mets were losing 4-3, I had to use the bathroom. when I came back, they were losing 8-3.

yesterday, I had my 'fridge magnet of the Mets schedule out in the living room with me while we watched the game, and we came really close but lost. today, I was going to go get it for another blog-related purpose, but have chosen not to.

since I made that call, the Mets have battled back to make it 10-6 Tigers, with two on and 1 out in the top of the 6th. I sort of have to pee, but I'm holding it.

at least until the end of the inning.
