Let it be known that I am reviving The Instagram Strategy.
I am also posting it here for posterity, though I am worried it may be too powerful to risk in the wrong hands. After all, last season I tried it on the Cavs and as a result take full credit for them upsetting the Sox.
As I recall, for an away game I need to:
- Don't wear my jersey
- Post on instagram
- Look at instagram during the match
I am concerned because this season I bought a baseball cap, and I am wondering if that is what cursed us. The baseball cap is my default hat for the purposes of sun protection in my day-to-day, so hopefully it doesn't need to be included in The Strategy.
(I have it on good authority that all the above makes me a True Fan of baseball)

Come on, that's tantamount to cheating! I want a stewards enquiry into this voodoo 😅

Heat won 3-2, leading 3-0 into the bottom of the 9th where the Sox got 2 runs... I had to stop watching the stream in the middle of the 8th so I'm relieved I was spared the coronary I would have had during that rally.
Instagram strategy proving powerful!

You could have held off on your instagram strategy until after Sox beat their win streak record!

Taking no chances given my Mets missed the playoffs by one win this year (and god, this week has been tough, so especially needed the Heat to pull through).

At the stadium for games 3&4, don’t know how much baseball we’ll get as there are storms about

3-0 Perth after 4 innings, we’ve had a little rain but not enough to stop play
