Reverse jinx

From Wiki Gonzalez

A reverse jinx (also known as an anti-woof) is a powerful form of hoodoo that should only be used by those well versed in the black baseball-watching arts.

Or, if you're sjohnny, it's a bunch of crap.

People in Yankee Game Chatter decided to abandon the reverse jinx for Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS -- which proved to be the greatest folly since The Somme, instantly becoming one of the worst decisions in modern history.
