Baseball is considered one of the most superstitious sports, and heading into Game 7 of the World Series, you bet all fans, players and coaches arent taking any risks by switching up their routines. Whether its parking your car in the same spot for a week, not washing your lucky jersey or that special handshake you have to do every time your favorite player walks to the plate, weve all done it.?Especially for the said cursed Chicago Cubs, now isnt the time to take chances. As such, it should come as no surprise that one of those sticking to routine is Cubs manager Joe Maddon.?Ahead of Game 6, Maddon told reporters?that he has a special memento he carries in his bag everywhere he goes: his fathers Los Angeles Angels hat.When asked if he noticed any omens before the game, he said, Omens, I dont know. I did see my dads hat in my bag today. I carry my dads hat with me.He passed away in 2002, we won the World Series, and Ive had his old Angel hat in my bag since then. So it goes everywhere. So the one thing Im relying on today is my dad. I held onto his hat a little bit this morning, and thats probably the omen, in a sense, going into this game.Call it an omen, call it a superstition, but no matter what you call it, you cant deny its something that works for Maddon, considering it was there when the Angels won the World Series in 2002 while he was bench coach for the team. Not to mention, it was there for the Cubs Game 6 win over the Cleveland Indians?on Tuesday.At a time like this, for Maddon, that hat better be within arms reach.-- Courtney Schellin Custom Frank Thomas Jersey . -- Linebacker Myles Jack ran for four touchdowns, defensive end Cassius Marsh caught a scoring pass, and No. Bo Jackson Jersey Large .

Their injury-limited offense piled up 183 yards on the ground -- the most against the Bengals this season.By contrast, the Bengals (3-6-1) are in danger of not making the playoffs for the first time in six years.Playing their first game at Paul Brown Stadium in nearly a month, they couldnt move the ball consistently or make an extra point.Ive only had one losing year since Ive been here, said cornerback Adam Pacman Jones, who joined the team in 2010. Yes, its tiring. Its depressing. Its nerve-wracking. Whatever you want to call it.The Bengals also lost receiver A.J. Green to an injured right hamstring on the first pass of the game, a setback that will limit their offense the rest of the season. Green barely bent the leg as he was helped to the sideline and then taken off on a cart. Coach Marvin Lewis had no details on the extent of the injury.Buffalos defense finished the win by knocking down Andy Daltons desperation pass into the end zone on the final play.
