Superstitious Baseball
by LJ Dovichi April 24th, 2008 | Baseball, MLB, NCAA, Sports History, Sports RadioLike two peas in a pod, baseball and superstitions just go together. Could any two words be more synonymous than those? Superstitions are as much a part of baseball as following player stats and keeping the score.

I was listening to the Mike Tirico Show on ESPNRadio and Jon Barry was a guest. Mike asked Jon, "How do the Nuggets beat the Lakers in the first round?" Jon's classic answer:
"It is not going to happen... let's not waste time... not going to happen."
"It is not going to happen... let's not waste time... not going to happen."

On the ever-funny Kevin Cowherd Show on ESPNRadio, there was a discussion about how at the ESPN campus in Bristol, Connecticut, they had put in place three coyote decoys to keep geese from nesting in the ponds. The sharp-witted Cowherd then replied:

But the best quote from today's discussion came from a listener who sent in an email to the show:

I was listening to the Mike Tirico Show on ESPNRadio this afternoon, and there was a great quote from Mike Tirico as he was talking about when he would finish his bracket for the NCAAs (Sidenote: I always think Tirico comes off as one of the classiest guys in sports):
"I will finish it tonight while I am doing the Golden State/Clippers game... probably in the 3rd quarter."
It is always bad when th announcers know how bad a game is going to be. The poor Clippers fans of the world... are there any?!?!
