The Streak Continues...


W's baseball season is rapidly coming to an end.  The rainy spring got us off to a late start, with at least a dozen make up games trying to be worked in.  It looks as though we'll make it back from Blue Ridge for the end of the season, making W a happy player.

Unfortunately, the season has been filled with streaks.  The winning streak ended a few weeks ago when the Reds lost their first game in two seasons.  That started the second streak - the "Mom Curse".  It seems that every game I attend, they lose...or at a minimum W has what he considers a terrible game.  He believes it so much that he didn't want me to go to today's game.  But since it was our last home game, I couldn't miss it. 

Of course, I couldn't be a curse.  Can someone please tell W that?  Because after he was hit by yet another bad pitch, for the 4th game in a row (another streak), he was positive it was me.  Until he was asked to pitch - that must be the end of the mom curse, right?  Not so much.  The game ended with the bases loaded, 2 outs, the Reds down by 1 and W at the plate with an ump that couldn't wait to get home for the evening. 

One strikeout later - I've determined I'll never be invited to another game.  The mom curse streak continues.......
