Welcome to the second installment (in two days!) of this new daily feature in which we look back at old posts (at random) to find things we were completely wrong about. Today’s look back: Post No. 700 from May 2, 2007, back when we still did Movie Quote Wednesday! We combined a quote from Fight Club with this prediction, which proved to be completely wrong:

“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.” Mavs on the brink. A dream season, an MVP season, a LONG season about to go down the drain in the span of one crazy week. They make a run, save the game. Now they’re down 3-2. They win this thing in 7. Mark it.

Um, actually they lost in 6. But hey, at least Jose Canseco is trying to win friends and influence people by insinuating A-Rod is a cheater, too!

Update: Strange but true, for the second day in a row, we’ve had to go back into the Hindsight is 20-20 post with news that the Twins have signed a former Astros infielder. Yesterday it was Adam Everett. This time? Mike Lamb. So there you go.

Part II: And then, of course, there’s the Dwight Smith news.
