Do you think burning things in effigy...

[Rick Ackley]

God, keep the cap, it has the mojo. You just need to do the totally opposite of the norm. Fish the dead tides, the back creeks, high noon, and the jetties loaded with crud. Catch a fish and you'll be on your way to riddin the voodoo. Skip kickin the cat, last time I booted mine, I found the hidden leg under the middle of the couch. Some toes still point in an odd angle.

Scott Proctor of the Yankees apparently took a bunch of gear out of his locker at Yankee Staduium today after the Yanks lost to the A's 8-0 and burned it.

Hopefully it will not work for him, but it may provide you with some observational data - you can check out whether Proctor pitches better from here on out and draw your own conclusions about his efforts to change his luck.
