It comes as no surprise that the Yankees got smoked in game 1 of the World Series. Why? The day before the Series began, Jeter appeared on a show titled…wait for it… “The Biggest Loser”. Yes, it was pre-taped. Yes, it was a motivational speech for the contestants on the show. Yes, Jeter went 3-4 and scored the lone Yankee run. But superstitions and baseball go back further than sticking needles in butts. Shouldn’t have done that Jeter. Somewhere Turk Wendell is laughing.
