From BJ:

“I have appreciated your incisive analysis of our current economic situation. I wanted to add a timely tidbit of historical fact: Over the past 100 years, the surest sign of an oncoming financial crisis has been Philadelphia winning the World Series. Don’t believe me? Here are the facts: In 1929, the Philadelphia Athletics were WS champions. In 1980 and 2008, the Phillies were tops in MLB.”

So, umm… who are you rooting for?
