There’s nothing worse for us Leos than when our favorite baseball team loses on our birthday.

That’s what's been happening for Ben Affleck, a die-hard Boston Red Sox fan, since “Good Will Hunting” premiered in 1998.

It’s not as bad as the 86-year World Series drought, but now that it’s been brought to light, some Red Sox fans will be wary of the Ides of August.

I did some quick homework, and the Red Sox are 2-1 since 1998 on Matt Damon’s birthday.
