Apr 21 2008Buried Red Sox Jersey For Sale On eBay
If you haven't already heard, the David Ortiz jersey that some asshat buried under Yankee stadium in an attempt to curse the team is for sale on eBay. It's currently at a whopping $70,200 with a little under 3 days to go. The good part about the auction is that 100% of the proceeds will go to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. So that's heartwarming. And no, I did not call the Red Sox fan that buried the jersey an asshat because I'm a Yankees fan. I have no team preference. The only thing I care about is getting to third base (I have yet to score a run). Just a heads up though for any of you thinking about cursing something in the future -- don't tell anybody about it. Hexes, curses, magic spells, masturbating, and cheating on your girlfriend always work best when no one else knows what's going on.
Thanks to Stav, who is smart enough to keep his curses to himself, for the tip

Wow. I forgot how much a burnt baseball jersey has to do with technology and/or general geek culture. Thank you for reminding me, Geekologie writer, about how baseball curses are completely relevant to anything and everything "geek".

Hmmm, Something tells me that this whole thing was planned out from the beginning with this being the climax.
I mean come on, seems strange that they even found the thing to dig up at all.

I detest baseball. Just throwing that out there.
FYI, the only sport I'm really interested in is college football, mainly the KU Jayhawks. WOOT! Chalk, rock, Jayhawk!
Oh, and F-1 racing, but other than that, that's it.

I love a woman that hates sports! I happen to be very into MLB and the NFL but I think it's a bit unnatural for women to be into it. Not meaning anything sexist there, just prefer my women to not like sports.

Go to show that some stupid motherf***ers will buy anything.

Don't be such a sexist, Scott, it's horribly unattractive.

How did I know you'd scold me?
