  Talk about jumping the gun.
  
  From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

  A Message To Our Readers,
  
  A Macy's advertisement in today's Inquirer incorrectly offered Phillies 2009 World Championship merchandise. The Inquirer deeply regrets this error. Macy's is a great corporate citizen, supporter of this region and our sports teams. We apologize for this error and any inconvenience this caused.

  This one strikes close to home for the Contrarian -- a native Philadelphian and die-hard Phillies fan who's been crying in his coffee this morning after last night's unpleasantness.

  But -- being a contrarian and a die-hard -- I'm still holding out hope that the Phils can win the World Series in seven games.

  And if they don't, I'll blame the ad department at Macy's for creating a jinx.
