Sterl Hurl Index of WinWarbles falls to below 4.00

It closed late last night, despite a surge of profit-taking, at 3.98 -- well below the magic 5.00, which signifies an important Yankee victory.

Yankeeologists are now studying the figures to learn their meaning.

Do they signify trouble ahead?

Is John trying to "cool" the opposition by not rubbing it in?


Is he deliberately issuing low Warblage readings because he fears that long Hurls jinx the team?

We do know this: Top scientists across the world have proven, beyond debate, the existence of Yankee curses. (The Chinese have been especially seminal in establishing a baseline continuum for analysis.) No one has yet defined the exact pattern that creates a Yankee curse. We all try.

Is John weaving a magical thought pattern?

WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS MEAN!!!???
