But did you hear the new Baseball Project song "Don't Call them Twinkies" sung by Craig Finn?  If they blare that from the loudspeakers I think that might have enough good ju-ju to counteract the curse!

It's a conspiracy. Pulling the SI curse is the only way to ensure that the Yankees (yet again) go to the show. Nice way to "commemorate" Steinbrenner's passing than with (yet another) World Series win.

Magic number is now down to 1, and the White Sox are losing right now, so we could clinch tonight. *KNOCK ON WOOD*

Everyone start carrying around horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, or other various lucky charms so we can maybe reverse this "curse."

I think this is one of the more interesting SI covers I've seen - it's much more so than guys mugging for the camera.  It reminded me of a very modern version of the very first SI cover:

Curse or not, the Twins are the best team in baseball right now.  Yanks and Rays are going down to the wire - we can prepare for the playoffs.  Should be fun.
