Jinxecum?

It can't be, right?

I mean, sure, The Freak gave up his second most hits of the season in the start immediately following the leak of the issue, but he still got the win.

And, sure, following the issue's release this week, he lost for the first time in two and a half months and served up two gopher balls after giving up five in the three months prior.

But it's all a coincidence.  It has to be.

It's not like the Giants offense ever made the cover.

Comment-Starter:  It's just a coincidence, right?

These are two of the more high-powered offenses in the NL. The Cubs have scored the most runs of any team in the NL and the Mets are #4. I'm not sweating yet.

What keeps me awake at night is trying to figure out a way to get the Giants offense on the cover of SI. Maybe a lil reverse jinxage is what they need.

The baseball gods were threatened by the recent successes of Lincecum. They decided to push his HR/9 closer to league-average to make him seem more human.
