Kevin Doran is the new Steve Bartman

Baseball players and fans are highly superstitious. So the last thing you want to do when your team hasn't been to the World Series in 14 years is jinx them. Some people might think Charlie Manuel did that last night when he accidentally said "Tomorrow's very important for us to lose." Don't worry Charlie, you were already jinxed. The Chicago Cubs have Steve Bartman, now Philly fans have Kevin Doran. Doran, who is the Venues editor of Penn State's newspaper The Daily Collegian, penned an article about the Phillies for the October 1st edition. As you can see above, it was just a bit off.

Man, where the hell were the copy editors?

The paper made a correction on Tuesday, desperate to change the fate of the already doomed Phillies:

So with this little blurb, I plead to you, baseball deity of all things diamond: Forgive our insolence. We really didn't mean it.

We already have the Curse of Billy Penn. The Phillies haven't even sniffed the Fall Classic since I was 7 years old when Super Nintendo was the coolest thing ever.

I really don't want to wait another 14 years.

Naturally the Phillies lost their first playoff game in years 4-2, with Rollins, Howard and Utley all going hitless. At least you know who to blame Phillies fans.
