The Tampa Bay Rays are 11-0 on free-concert nights, a streak that has gone from cute and curious to pretty flippin’ serious. In the superstitious world of hardball, 11 wins in a row is something with which you just don’t mess. And yet, the Rays are totally doomed this weekend. Why? Listen up. Saturday’s 6:08 p.m. game is against the Oakland A’s. Benign enough, right? The A’s suck! What, Jason Giambi is gonna beat us? Hahaha! However, after the contest, the band Smash Mouth — All-Star, Walkin’ on the Sun, I’m a Believer — will perform a free gig for the masses. Again, they seem like nice enough chaps. But would anyone like to guess from where Smash Mouth hails? That’s right: Northern California, San Jose, 40 miles from Oakland. They might as well be performing in friggin' A’s uniforms!!! That, baseball fans, is called an omen. 12-0? I don't think so. (TICKETS... if you dare.)
