This Just In From the Confederacy of Witches

(Note: Today is a very exciting day here at Yankees2000. Not only has Sippy Momo made his much anticipated return, but today we've got pictures, or one picture at least, up on the site for the first time. We'll be tinkering with the format of the pictures in the days ahead, and if you've got any feedback (picture too big? too small? too scandalous? not scandalous enough?) let us know.

Anyway, we hope you enjoy the eye candy. Sip's piece, "What Happens in Cabo..." appears immediately after this brief entry.)

A friend (not Mr. Glass, different friend) sent me the above link and I simply had to post it. It turns out a gaggle of 350 witches commissioned by the New York Center for the Strange (they do good work!) has predicted, among other things, that there will be a Subway Series in the year ahead.

Better yet, according to these necromantic prognosticators, the Mets will triumph over the Yankees, validating not only our lives of suffering as the redheaded stepchildren of New York baseball, but also the Curse upon witch... err, which... this site is premised. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

Now before we get too excited, Mets fans should be advised that the witches have a 28 percent rate of success in their predictions (evidently this isn't the first time they've opined publicly on the year to come), and blah blah blah. Whatever. We've got the upper hand. The witches have spoken, boys and girls: Next Year is 2006.

And if they're wrong, well, Salem's beautiful in October...
