Cliff pulled the old reverse jinx trick by predicting an A’s sweep, thereby guaranteeing that it wouldn’t happen.

It totally negated my recipe trick, and the A’s went back to their pre-recipe-blog non-scoring ways, and lost 5-0.

Moreover, I think he’s up to some other evil trick at this very moment, so to counteract him, I’m throwing out a triple dose of recipes:

First, here’s where to get some jinx-removing root oil.

Then, we’ll use the classic Egg Jinx Removing Spell.

And to invoke the power of Motherhood, and to prevent my powers from crumbling away, I’ll throw in Mom’s No-Crumble Nutbread.

That, plus a solid dose of Rich Harden ought to do the trick.
