Given his knowledge of the practice of voodoo, it is perhaps no surprise that he suspects that his team is a victim of black magic by the New Orleans Crawdads, who have beaten Montreal in six of seven games played so far in this young season. The Crawdads probably should've won the seventh, which went 13 innings after their closer blew the save. When Percolo's team left town for a road series at Charm City, he was spotted dining with Dauphin at Agrikol in a private room.
Sources say that Montreal has reached out to the agent of Stanley 'Hey Stella' Kowalski, who played for the Crawdads in 2054. Kowalski is a native of The Big Easy, and his family's roots go way back in the Vieux Carré. It is unlikely that Kowalski has any firsthand knowledge of voodoo, but he almost certainly knows how to find his hometown's best practitioners of the dark art.

The Blazers are not scheduled to face the Crawdads again until the middle of June, so Percolo has time to identify and reverse the hex that he thinks New Orleans has cast on his team. Montreal's losing streak is now at five, with a road trip looming to the red hot Boise Spuds. From the witch's cauldron into the deep fryer, so to speak.
