    Bears Win ?!?

    Sunday, October 7th, 2007

    Holy Crap!  I can’t believe they pulled this game out?   I had zero confidence and had resorted to rooting for players on my various fantasy teams to have big days.  If the Bears are going to lose at least I can get something out of it right?   And then the Bears Defense came out and […]

    Mike’s NFL Picks 2007 Week 5

    Saturday, October 6th, 2007

    No fancy introduction this week. Just picks. If you are the betting sort I’d recommend taking the opposite of what I suggest. You could come out quite well.

    For the record I was against it at the time.  The logic didn’t quite make sense.  He was pulling his top pitcher in a tied game […]

    Drinking the Cool Aid

    Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

    Only a few hours until game time.   Despite all my efforts not to get overly excited about Cubs playoff run, I find myself getting pumped up for tonights game.  I know I’m just asking to have my heart crushed again, but everyone else is doing it, so why can’t I?
    What’s I find really strange is […]

    Playoff Predictions

    Monday, October 1st, 2007

    As my weekly NFL picks have shown, I’m not exactly good at predicting these sorts of things, but I’m doing it anyways.

    Boston Red Sox over Los Angeles Angels in 4.
    Cleveland Indians over New York Yankees in 5
    NLDS
    Arizona Diamondbacks over Chicago Cubs in 4 (sniff)
    Philadelphia Phillies over San Diego Padres in 4  (Yes that means I […]
