JUST LIKE I SAID: LAKERS WIN
Okay, so here I am putting an end to what I believe is the longest drought of posts ever on this blog. Basically a month and a half has gone by since I last wrote anything, and I'm sure people have been crying their eyes out. To be honest, I'm not sure how often I'm going to be posting in the future. Sometimes things just jump the shark, and maybe I have found that I have a cousin named Oliver.
But I definitely had to stop in here and congratulate myself for my NBA predictions last fall. For only the second time in this blog's history, I correctly predicted a champion: I had the Lakers beating Boston in the NBA Finals. Boston didn't make it, but the Lakers did and they won, so my success rate is now something like 2 for 20, maybe 2 for 22. I still have yet to pick a Super Bowl champion or a Stanley Cup winner, but the 2009 Lakers will join the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals as the only teams I have correctly forecast as champions in my pre-season predictions. Yay me.
I'd also like to mention that the Giants are in first place in the wild card race as of right now. This I did not expect whatsoever. So baseball is going to be bigger for me than it's been in the last few years, since the Giants have sucked recently. I have nothing more to add at this time but I figured I'd better jump in here in case I read this blog twenty years from now and fear that I might have passed away or something.
