You're only as good as your last prediction!

This is the last time I will bring up my perfect suggestion that Boston would beat the Lakers BEFORE last seasons NBA playoffs. Because while that was a pretty good one my last prediction has turned out to be awful. The Dodgers tricked me. They did not look this good during the regular season. Right now they are the hottest team in baseball after sweeping the Chicago Cubs in three games. And what about those Angels? They had a 100 win season then lost to Boston in four games. So let me be one of the first to say...I WAS WRONG when I suggested the Cubs would beat the Angels in the World Series.
Dave Roberts was once a Dodger that is until they traded the outfielder to the Boston Red Sox in 2004. All he did was almost single leggidly send the Sox to their first World series in a million years. He told me I shouldn't be surprised at how the Dodgers are doing. He reminded me that last year most people also found the National League West weak and yet the Colorado Rockies wound up in the World series. Roberts thinks the Dodgers will be there this year. And perhaps that will give a lot of baseball fans what they want. A Manny versus the Red Sox match-up.

Don't worry I wont make any more predictions...at least not until the NFL playoffs roll around.
