The Curse Of The Astros

It may not be Friday the 13th, but we should all beware anyway… of the Curse Of The Astros.

It started less than two weeks ago, when the Yankees faced the Astros in interleague play and ace pitcher Chien-Ming Wang sprained his foot while running the bases. Then, during the Astros interleague matchup yesterday against the Rangers, Texas superstar Josh Hamilton injured his hand when he was hit by a pitch.

The Astros facing off against interleague opponents is producing a spate of minor disasters — even Houston’s own clubhouse isn’t immune from the curse.

We can only cross our fingers and beseech the benevolent Jobu that the Curse Of The Astros will be lifted, and Red Sox escape from this weekend’s series in Houston unscathed.

    It is very bad to steal Jobu’s rum. Is very bad!
