I wonder how many of my predictions come true.
I wrote this post during a work break on Friday morning.
I guessed from my own experience and past recollections to guess what reception Derrek Lee would get at Wrigley Field.
And if you haven’t seen this post, there’s a reason for that. I wrote it at Talking Chop, the Atlanta Braves’ SB Nation blog. Apparently, it caught someone’s attention, and at the top…

Congrats homie...
I bet you the the Editor’s pick because of the booth catching fire part
"A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality." John Lennon
There's a story behind that.
I read it on the Braves’ trade thread. Apparently, the last time the Braves picked up a player from the Cubs, it was Fred McGriff. McGriff wore #27 with Atlanta, much like Derrek Lee does now.
In McGriff’s first game as a Brave, the Braves’ press box caught fire.
