I seriously despise the Yankees, but I picked them in a pool at work. Anaheim is seriously putting the forty-dollar pot at risk. My five-dollar investment is not looking good here.
The sad thing is, I ridiculed the person who took Anaheim. We all made a blind draw for draft selection. The guy with the second pick took Anaheim, congratulating himself for making a ballsy choice. I took the Yankees at #4 (it was either them or Oakland, so far as I was concerned) and told him he was an idiot for not going after the smart money.
Bastards. The one time I bet on them fuckers, they're fallible. If I would have known, I would have bet on them in '98.
(It also further proves why I usually don't bet on sports . . . I'm usually a genius in predicting, except when my money's at stake.)
