After a rotten 2008 we finally (finally!) have a new year. This of course begs the question, what will 2009 bring us?

Will the Mariners compete for .500? Do they have any chance of surpising us in a mediocre division and storming into the playoffs? How will Mora do with the Seahawks? Will Kevin Durant's team win another game? Will you attend a Thunderbirds game? If the Storm do anything, will you notice?

Do you have any resolutions? Perhaps you have resolved to find someone to blame for anything that goes wrong. Or do you resolve to drink a new beer? To read the more math-centric parts of The Book? Do tell.

Finally, in honor of 2009, A Poll.
