Beating the Experts Mid-Week Open Trackbacks

Posted by Adam Graham in : Open Trackbacks

Sometimes, you call something exactly right. On October 9, I wrote that the Mets would be in trouble if they had to go 7 and that I thought they would. I made my prediction for the LCS series: 4-3 Cardinals.

Meanwhile, ESPN’s panel of experts: Peter Gammons, Buster Olney, Keith Law, Steve Phillips, and Jim Caple all predicted Mets victories.

Sometimes, the experts are wrong which is a great lesson to apply to the doom and gloom atmosphere of politics today on the Conservative side of the aisle. No self-fulfilling prophecies. You do everything you can and fight as hard as you can and the rest is in the hands of God.

Now, onto the Party. First, the rules:

1) Post about anything that’s in good taste. No porn, no spam, no profanity.
2) Send me a trackback of any tasteful post you want and as soon as I check my blog, I’ll update this post with your link provided you link back to this thread. If your software won’t allow you to send trackbacks, just use the Wizbang Standalone Pinger
3) Deadline is Sunday at 11:00 PM MDT. Further trackbacks won’t be posted after that time.

For your convenience here’s today’s link and the trackback:
