On Black Cats and Red Necks
2007-09-23 16:34:00 After picking up a full game on the Brewers yesterday, the Cubs have now have an 88.0% chance to reach the playoffs according to the PECOTA version of the playoff odds report. I think we can say that the Cubs have crossed the Black Cat Line. If they blow the division at this stage, it will not be regarded as losing a photo finish at the wire, but as throwing away something that was rightfully theirs — the latest manifestation in the curse. The Cubs, however, are at little risk of winning the Black Cat Award, which I will present at the end of the season to the team that blew the highest percentage chance of reaching the playoffs at any point after the All-Star Break. Rather, the leading contenders for that hardware are as follows: Team ---- High Water ---- ----- Today ---- Tigers 92.9% July 20 0.2% -92.7% Dodgers 75.7% July 24 0.00018% -75.7% Brewers 82.2% July 18 12.1% -70.1% Mariners 53.4% August 25 0.4% -53.0% Braves 48.6% August 16 0.3% -48.3% The Tigers, who had a 92.9% ...

Are Black Cats A Curse!
2007-03-26 13:39:00 What's up with people right now? I can't believe it. I read some article that just before Halloween, people adopt black cats from the pet shelters and after the event, these cats are returned to the shelters and why... 'coz "He just didn't work out." It's as if these people just wanted another Halloween decoration for their home - a black cat in the window, perhaps, or a new member to wear a "witch" costume. It probably never occurred to them that this practice is cruel and inhumane -this kind of individual typically thinks of cats as property, and not as an able companion. The poor cats are tortured and traumatized a lot during this time of the year.Historically, black cats were symbolically associated with witchcraft and evil. Although, in Japan, Britain and Egypt, it is considered as good luck. In Hebrew and Babylonian folklore, cats are compared to serpents, coiled on a hearth. In the USA and parts of Europe which were affected by the witch hunts, the association with witch...

Black Cats Spend On Luton Winger Edwards
2007-01-03 15:37:03 Roy Keane has invested some of his war chest on Trinidad & Tobago winger Carlos Edwards. Luton Town will receive £1.4M for Edwards who cost them nothing a year and a half ago when they signed him on a free transfer from Wrexham. The 28 year old who scored eight goals in fifty appearances for the Hatters could be eligible for the cup clash with Preston North End this weekend; making his first appearance of his three and a half year deal. Manager Roy Keane expressed his ?delight? at capturing the player ahead of the competition saying the player is joining the club to get them back to the Premiership.
