Radionics FAQ :: Hexing the Phillies or Boosting the Giants?

As a big time San Francisco Giants fan, I am very stoked they have scratched and clawed their way to the NLCS to face the reigning world champion Phillies, who most are picking to win it all.

But I do not want them to win it all, I want the GIANTS to win it all, and the other day it occurred to me I could use my handy dandy Longhorn GTR to perhaps twist the hands of fate in this direction. The question becomes, if I choose to do I run a trend to make the Giants hit better, pitch harder and field smoother? Or is a better strategy to maybe run trends (as I have seen some here suggest for poker) to make their opponents confused, lose composure and have the ball slip out of their hands when they go to throw it, etc.? I'm sure Uncle Chuckie would choose the latter.

Is this something that is even possible? I'm sure this has ramifications for all sorts of different contexts, such as if you bet on a horse and you radionically boost his performance, or if you'd like to see a particular political figure fumble and forget his main points during a debate.

Appreciate any feeback.
