Some people have been known to doubt my magical player-jinxing skills. I cannot understand why.

We started fantasy baseball for the season and my team is XYZ PDQ, because I like to pick teams based on their names, because I am lazy like that. So yesterday Danielle put in the rosters, and yesterday I managed to hurt Chris Young, who is out with a groin injury. See? Magical skills.

And apparently Danielle hates Kevin Youkilis, because she gave me a Youkilis t-shirt for Christmas. I’m not sure why she thinks that if she paid for it, it will somehow avoid my baseball jinxing. I, on the other hand, am far more cautious and haven’t even unfolded it yet, because I fear for Youk’s life. So when Youkilis hurt his ankle on Saturday, Danielle texted me to let me know, and I replied, “I’M SORRY!!”

I received the following text message from her in reply: Clearly you should ritually sacrifice that youk t-shirt. I underestimated your dark powers, Voldemort.
