You are one ballsy person. Let's hope the mob doesn't come for you shortly.

I don't believe in superstition either. But why risk it? My belief could be wrong, and you gain nothing by making this thread.

[SrMeowMeow]

And it's broken up on the first pitch of the 8th. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.

[Juanvald]

Now what did I do with my pitchfork??:cussing:

They'll be here with their empirical proof of my magical powers. No worries. If I can control the fate of a no-hitter from my living room, I can also control whether we win the pennant, too.

And what if you're just the bad luck guy?

[JourneyFan]

A no hitter is great, but I'd take this kind of pitching performance any day of the week.

[Gurgi]

I got neg rep for doing exactly what this guy did.

Dont do it!

Yes yes, clever. And I agree. But again, why do it? At best, it's sort of obnoxious.

I agree, what is to be gained other than attention for flaunting the superstition/tradition? Let people play the games they want to play, I say.

I'm not superstitious, but I think it's fun when groups of random people voluntarily adhere to old-timey "rules" like "don't ----ing talk about a no-hitter during a no-hitter."

That being said, the inevitable, collective groan that follows talking about a no-hitter has some comedic value.
