No, no no. What you're forgetting is that it's all about spin, not gravity. Bernoulli's Principle shows us that the pressure and thus the friction on a spinning object is lower on the side that is spinning opposite the direction of motion. This same principle explains why the Astros, when their season was spiralling more and more rapidly out of control, when removing the friction of their best players being on the block, had a sudden decrease in pressure, thus changing the direction of the team - leading to the current 6-1 run. It was the spinning out of control, and not the gravity of the situation that caused it to turn.
