and I'm not making this up

So at the baseball game last night, this being the first baseball game D. and I had attended since the previous, the previous game being the one where I got to wear D.'s birthday gift for me for the first time, the Portland Beavers baseball cap, in the previous game the first Portland batter to step to the plate hitting a home run, then the second Portland batter hitting a homerun right after him, obviously a sign that the hat is good luck and D. and I are clearly the reason for the team's success.

Then last night -- the first Portland batter gets up and hits a home run, and D. and I look at each other and say, well, I guess the next guy is going to have to just go ahead and park another one. He gets up, takes a huge swing at the first pitch, and completely misses.

Next pitch he cracks it over the right field fence.

Two batters, two homeruns to open a game, twice in a row now.

You explain that to me without using the words "Tieg" and "D.".
