An even worse curse?
Talk about a double dinger. Perhaps the new Baseball Preview issue of Sports Illustrated will once-and-for-all settle whether being on that cover is a curse.
On the front of the mag, not only do they have six young studs (the Brewers’ Ryan Braun, the D’backs’ Justin Upton, the Rockies’ Troy Tulowitzki, Red Sox Jacoby Ellsbury, Clay Buchholz, and Nat Ryan Zimmerman), but each one is holding a cover on which he also appears.
With that kind of extra bad mojo working, you would expect at least one of them to get decapitated by a fastball this season. We’ll keep track.

As long as there are no Cubs on the cover, that's just fine with me. Every time SI picks the Cubs to go great things at the beginning of a season, the team ends up laying an egg and is done by June. Better to be ignored than adored, I say.
