When you Need Mojo, Build a Shrine

The Plotzers need help. It's time for a shrine.

Plotnik has placed his Holy Pophead Doll of Saint Fernando Valenzuela on the Sacred Remote Control Storage Chest.

In back of Saint Fernando, he has set the Conquest Cap of Glorious Victories.

In the rear of the shrine goes the Bottle of Brandy given to Plotnik as a thank you from the parents of his Little Leaguers, many years ago when Plot led the team to one victory in two years. The Bottle of Brandy has Great Power. Plotnik has never been able to figure out how to get the top off, so all the Power is still inside.

And finally, BeeziWeezi's baseball mitt holding the Baseball Signed by Don Zimmer, once a glorious Plotzer himself. The Great FiveHead got this baseball for Plotnik on a trip to the Big Shmapple, and it's Mojo is now being called on.

Repeat after Me. "Ommmmmmm Big Trade Big Trade Ommmmmmm Sacred Screwball Ommmmm Drysdale Ommmmm Koufax Ommmmmmm Kirk Gibson Ommmm Big Trade Big Trade Ommmm."

OK, it's done. Now we wait.

Dude - those are some wise little leaguers. I can imagine the conversation with their parents. Parent "So boys, what should we get your coach?" Little tow-headed kid in the back "A big bottle of booze might take the edge off his coaching."

And that bottle looks like someone has figured out how to open it.

"Ommmm Jeff Kent Ommmmm Paul Depodesta Ommmmm Giants are a lock..."

OK, the Blogmaid reminds me that I do all this shrine business and worse, so she suggests that I apologize for my harsh words of yesterday. It's either that or she'll publicly discuss some of my strange behavior. I do know a woman (not me) who makes her 3 cats sleep in the same place they were when the team last won.
