Lesson Learned

Last night I was watching the Yankees game, a subway series against the Mets at Citi Field. My father came in during the middle of the game to get an update and catch some of the action. After finding out the score in the bottom of the 5th inning (4-0), he commented "So Sabathia must be pitching pretty well." In response I told him that he was actually throwing a no-hitter to that point. Right after I said that I continued, "Oh man, now that I said that Sheffield is probably going to hit a home run." The next pitch that C.C. threw was crushed to left field for a solo HR making the score 4-1 and breaking up his no-hitter/perfect game. From that point on, every hit the Mets got was blammed on me and deservedly so. I learned my lesson, it is an unwritten rule to never talk about a no-hitter, you can think about it but just don't say it out loud.
