The Red Sox have won the World Series.

That's not the real story, though.  The real story is that I was 4-7 in my playoff predictions this year (I actually got caught up in politics and missed making a prediction for the World Series, for which I am taking a loss).

That's a 400% improvement over last year. If I dare say myself, that's an impressive figure.
But it's also unsustainable growth, so make sure you keep expectations low next year.  Until then, congrats BoSox and their all-too-irritating fans.
