How's this for tempting fate?

I taped all of the Cubs/Braves playoff games. The last game, I was going to tape on an 8 hour tape on SLP speed. That way I would be able to get two games on the tape.

Just after I stuck the little labels on the VHS tape, I wrote Cub vs. Braves on it. I realized that coming up was game 5, and I knew the Marlins had won their series over the Giants.

The next thing I did would be considered a jinx by most Cubs fans.

I proceeded to 'Write in" Cubs vs. Marlins game 1, on the VHS label, underneath the Cubs/Braves writing. And then.....I wrote the final score of game 5. I wrote : Cubs 5 Braves 0.

The Cubs went on to win the game 5 - 1. As we all know, the Braves should never have even scored a single run. Lofton caught that blooper in center, and the final score should have been 5-0.

I was close to predicting the actual final score, three hours before the game even began. Wow! I felt like Edgar Cayce or Jean Dixon. AA the predictor!

I'm waiting for the John Titor = AnotherAlias accuasations to start beginning. LOL!
