If the Giants/Yankees juju nexis runs true, we should win the 2011 World Series

For many years, top scientists have noted the astonishing empirical evidence that links New York Football Giants woes to the success of the New York Yankees. I won't go into dull, stomach-churning statistics. This is a Presidential campaign. Facts don't matter. I'm talking faith-based knowledge. If you don't believe me, you're unAmerican. Besides, everybody knows: When the Gints lose, the Yanks win.

Which is good news, Yankee fans. The Giants are slogging through the worst pre-season since dealing Sam Huff for Andy Stynchula, and then finding that DE draft pick Vernon Vanoy turned out to be two midgets riding piggyback. They already have wrecked enough knees to have grocery-baggers at cornerback. Yesterday, the juju gods turned their attention to the linebackers, which weren't exactly LT, Harry Carson and Carl Banks to begin with. Their MLB, Jonathon Goff, cashed out for the season with a knee.

Watching the Giants this year will be like watching Jonathan Papelbon eat spaghetti. It'll take eight months, everything will be shredded, and in the end, we'll still be angry and hungry. 

If history holds, the Yankees will win it all. Thank you, Mr. Coughlin. Mail your collapse in early.
