Amway Guy curse strikes World Series!

by: matt

Sun Oct 22, 2006 at 08:34:19 AM EDT

A comment from wizardkitten (and yes, the Tigers lost 7-2):

Oh man. No wonder. From the Freep-

Dick DeVos stood outside Comerica Park on Saturday with his wife, Betsy, and their four kids, greeting Tigers fans -- who also might be potential voters -- and handing out T-shirts bearing his name.
The shirts bear the candidate's name, but the D in DeVos had been transformed into the Old English D that also graces the uniforms of Detroit's newest heroes.
-snip-
Gov. Jennifer Granholm is in the same boat. She wasn't at Saturday's game, but hopes to get to at least one of them.

Damnit. Get him away from the ball club!

That explains EVERYTHING (0.00 / 0)

The wild throws. The silent bats. That pitch to Pujols. (the man is a Terminator machine, I swear he just isn't human)

Somebody get down there and perform an exorcism on the stadium. Bring holy water or whatever it is they do. Quick!

Does anyone have the video of Amway Guy's interview at Comerica Park during a game earlier this year?

I knew something was up.

We need Granholm to throw a first pitch or something!

Looks like Sparky Anderson will have that honor. Hopefully he'll bring some of that 1984 "Bless You Boys" magic with him.

Cursologist's Report (4.00 / 1)

I thought I'd let you all know that since we have Saul Anzius on staff, we are required to have an expert on demonic manifestations on duty at all times. He told us that since Dick Devos didn't actually enter the stadium, it was only a one game curse.
