keep hope alive

By the time you read this, the dream may already have died.

But if not, if you get this message by 7pm EDT on Saturday, September 30, 2006, won't you join me in rooting for the Baltimore Orioles to find a way to beat the Boston Red Sox this evening? And then let's root for them to find a way to do it again tomorrow afternoon.

Why, you ask? Because if the Boston Red Sox fail to win another game this season, my prediction (#85) will be correct. Exactly correct. And I will join Nostradamus, Jimmy the Greek, and Clubber Lang in the Pantheon of Prediction.

If Boston loses these two games, it might also help pbdotc's AL East order of finish prediction come true. So we can all win here.

Honor the names of the past -- like Lenn Sakata, Tippy Martinez, and Al Bumbry -- and make it happen, Baltimore!

Thanks to former blogger Joe M. for keeping tabs on all the predictions.
