THE
KALI KURSE |
| |
Although badmets.com singularly subscribes to
atheism, there comes a time when we look to the skies and wonder if
maybe we're not all alone in this cold and indifferent cosmos. The time
is when the Mets are in the Playoffs and the god that rears her beautiful
head is Kali. In 1986,
after the Mets lost for a second time to Mike Scuff in the NLCS-- and
knowing that they could face him and his cheating ways again in game
7-- yours truly desperately turned to the underworld for help. Inspired
by Indiana Jones and John Williams, the Kali Kurse was born: Mike Scuff's
1986 Topps baseball card was tortured on a bulletin board, and hours
of ritualistic prayer were accompanied by Williams' overture. Kali fended
Scuff's black magic by guiding the Mets to a magical victory in 16 innings
of Game 6. |
Note: Unfortunately,
the Kali Jinx was forgotten and not performed in 1988, 1999, nor the
2000 subway series vs. the Skankees. (And we sincerely apologize to
you Kali.) But now she's back-- first embodying young Zachary
Gibian-- and now ready to decapitate all those that step in Omar,
Willie, and the Mets path. Phoorumskookeydum.
