Bad karma in sports: Texas Rangers collapse in World Series

The best professional teams lose championship games. They experience failure at the hands of those who enjoy success the most. What causes the better team to get bad karma?

In the MBL World Series last year, the Texas Rangers were an out away from winning their first championship. St. Louis Cardinals scored two runs to send Game 6 into extra innings. Again, the best Rangers hitter smacks a 2-run shot in the bleachers. Texas Rangers are given another shot at making history.

For some odd reason, the Texas Rangers lost their 2-run lead. St. Louis scored 2 runs to tie the game. In the next inning, the Cardinals won Game 6 on a game ending home-run.

Bad karma? Texas Rangers were the better team. They made their second trip to the Word Series. Now with the franchise on the verge of winning their first World Series title, they can't shut the door twice with two 2-run leads in the 9th and 10th inning.

Most people Texas fans were on the edge of their seats. They wanted to watch history. Texas Rangers somehow collapsed at the wrong time. Their second shot at a title disappeared. St. Louis won Game 7 to win another championship. Why do good teams with no prior titles get bad karma. It is not bad luck.

Most teams in the 9th and 10th inning situation would never lose. New York Yankees lost in 2004 to the Boston Red Sox. They were on a verge of sweeping the Sox. Fans prepared to watch their bad karma team lose again. However, Boston Red Sox revered their past misfortune to win 4 straight games. Boston Red Sox went on to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals in a sweep, winning their first title since Babe Ruth played got traded.

Bad karma? Trade a player away to never win a title for over 80 years? Will the Texas Rangers have another shot at a title? Bad karma affects all good people. There is something that went wrong in the past; a curse that kept good events from delivering success. NBA's Sacramento Kings also endured the same fate. NFL's Buffalo Bills suffered from bad karma four years in a way, even missing a kick in the closing seconds to lose a Superbowl.

For those of you who are familiar with karma, it is a deed determining fate associated with past actions and events in this life and or the previous. Bad karma in sports is common. Professional teams losing twice should think about getting a karma reading to improve their future fate.
