Re: #29

Whoops! 

Looks like I may be eating my words if  Boston beat Tampa Bay in Game 7.  Although, I think there may be a mathematical explanation for this...

Some rules of geometry and how they apply to my sports predictions:

Antecedent - "A" - if I hope a team will win and blog about it...

Consequent - "B" - ...then they will win.

Thus, the conditional statement is "If A, then B".

1. Case Study #1 - the Dutch soccer team in the Euro Cup

If A, then Not B.

If I hope they win and blog about it, they will lose.

2. Case Study #2 - NLCS, Dodgers vs. Phillies

Not A -> Not B

If I hope they win and don't blog about it, they will lose.

3. Case Study #3 -  Game 5, Boston vs. Tampa Bay

Not B -> A

If it a appears a team is certain to lose and I blog about it before the game is actually over, they will win.

So, I know that the inverse and converse of my statements do not hold true.  I haven't yet tested the contrapositive...  Not B -> Not A... aka, they won't win if I don't hope about it and don't blog about it.

In conclusion, overall epic fail on my part.

I'm the worst blogger ever...  I guess I have been a little too involved in the Twilight book series (finished #4 last night... and am in love with Edward Cullen) and too many show in the past month.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff.... Hopefully September is a little quieter!  Whew.

In the time its taken me to type this, the Blue Jays have gone from being down by 2 to tied to down by 1 to down by 2.  UGH.  Boo Yankees!  Let's go Jays!  Summon your inner-fucking-Joe Carters already!

My fantasy (or fancy, depending on who's asking) football team is having our draft on Wednesday.  So stoked!  Anyone got any pointers?

I also have a twitter now... because I clearly don't have enough interwebz.  You can and should 'follow me'.  I'm: katietothemax.

Cool? Cool.
