JD Boston is widely considered the Thomas Jefferson of Points in Case, having penned more than 125 articles for the site since 2003. In his spare time, he lifts weights, plays guitar, and hopelessly comes up with false interests that might convince hot girls to do him. In reality, all he does is drink beer and win Super Bowls in Madden.

>Nathan DeGraaf: Justin, I hope life is treating you well and all your friends and family are eating caviar and shitting gold (what can I say? I'm optimistic). I'll weigh in on the lat two games of the series in a minute, but first a little anecdote I'm sure you'll enjoy. <br />
<p>Welcome back to the MLB Blog Exchange (Or as Nick Gaudio calls it, "The thing I'll make fun of but secretly wish I had been invited into. I'm going to go write another faggoty poem and try to convince people Rebello's a virgin, hoping people look past my propensity toward fucking fat chicks.")<br /><br />From the files of DeGraaf:<br />
<p>I don't know if you've noticed, and judging by my readership stats, you haven't, but my picks have sucked this year. Normally I would blame this on a weird season, but I think it's just me. For starters, I have two fantasy football teams that are a combined 3-9. My Steelers Super Bowl pick is getting more laughable by the day.
Nate and myself are blogging during the baseball playoffs. Not that any of you are reading anyway. I can say whatever I want. Watch me. I don't like Chinks. See that? <br /><br />Nate's thoughts on the LCSes in progress:<br />
<p>I didn't write a column this week...too busy. But don't worry, the columns are going to be particularly nasty in the coming weeks; we're talking a throwback to 2004 when Court used to IM me after seeing my drafts with: "Are you sure you want this in print?"
Ahem.<br /><br />"Pretentious poetry.<br /><br />Random use of "cunt".<br /><br />More pretentious poetry."<br /><br />Thank you. {takes a bow}
<p>So I saw "the Departed" on Friday. It was amazing. I've casually mentioned in my column and to my constituency that I felt "the Departed" had more pressure on it than any movie in the past six years.
<p>The "Hurry up and Post Your Picks, it's Saturday Edition"<br /><br />NEW ENGLAND (-9.5) over Miami<br />Body language looked pretty good last week, wouldn't you say? Fuckers.<br /><br />NEW ORLEANS (-6.5) over Tampa<br />Any of you who enjoy DeGraaf's column better pray St. Louis sweeps the Padres. He's already blogging from the rooftops.<br /><br />Buffalo (+10) over CHICAGO
Just kidding...I wanted to see how many people we could get to view this blog.<br />Anyway, here's day two of the blog.<br />
<p>In case you missed it, Nate and me are blogging about the baseball playoffs. <a href="https://www.pointsincase.com/nathan/2006/10/mlb-email-exchange-is-back.html">Here are our predictions for the series</a> (plural). Is it serieses? Serieux? The fuck? <br /><br />Nate's thoughts on Day one:
Certain music wasn't meant to be popular, but somebody forgot to send out that telegraph. See you at Gettysburg for round two.
