A few weeks ago I was introduced to Wet Luzinski's Over/Under/Never for this season-- unfortunately, I was too late to participate. Last night, it came up again, with mention of events that were seeming more and more like never by the day. Since we are mired out in Slumpville right now, where normal, joyful events seem to be rare or missing, I have decided to create an over/under/never for the slump. Events will be considered never if they do not occur by the time that the slump is broken, which I will consider to have happened when team Slumpleupagus acheives a three game winning streak. Entries will be taken until one of the over under never events occurs.
