The Rays have had a rocky start to the season, in spite of a promising Opening Day win. While sports writers and stats guys might be poring over the lineup and blaming things like weather, lack of run support, and a variety of other “baseball-related” things, let’s be real here, we all know the reason.
It’s because some guy named Ted in St. Pete spilled something on his lucky jersey during the first game, he washed it, and now we’re doomed.
Okay... maybe not.
That’s putting a lot on poor Ted, I know.
But there’s something to be said about superstition and ritual.
