Random Question

IOWA CITY--Is there some sort of reverse karma jinx if I am willing to bet $20 on the Red Sox, simply because I want to pay money for a White Sox victory? There must be something wrong with this; I just need to know what it is.

(Note to most people: I haven't been doing a whole lot lately, outside of work, TV [watch My Name is Earl!], and the Sox in the playoffs. My apologies for the boredom. Please indulge yourselves in the posted photos in the meantime. They are a preview for a future online photo album.)
