For better or for worse . . .

. . .I apparently no longer have my "opposite power" over the Phillies. You remember -- that weird two year streak where whatever I predicted they'd do, they would do the exact opposite? Yeah, that's gone.

On the down side, I miss being able to control part of the universe with my mind. On the other hand, at least I have some points now, right? And on the other hand (yes, there are three hands), it's still infinitely preferable.

Current rankings:

Vittoria: 5
FOX: 4
JCD: 4
mighty momogus: 4
Tyler: 4
WaPo: 4
Steve G: 3
jordanbaker: 2

I'm conflicted because I'm doing OK based on the performance of teams that I dislike. I was happy for the Phillies for winning it all a few years ago, but after seeing their fans' behavior at Nationals Park, the bloom is off the rose for me. I may have to go with my heart over my head for round 2.

I'm bummed I couldn't dive in to defend my crown. 1) I was traveling and remembered too late, and 2) I would have had a difficult time being logical with my Reds involved for the first time in 15 years.

Good luck!

jcd: it's hard when winning leaves a sour taste in your mouth. Do what feels right.

BM: You can always come in on round 2 -- some of us (cough*me*cough) are doing poorly enough that you'd still have a shot.
