Win by 1?

I never thought I would feel any sympathy for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but I have now gone through a similar experience that allows me to understand their loss. When starting this blog, I thought I had secured a key member to help start something special. In a bizarre turn of events, Leah will no longer be writing for the Win By 2 blog. Ironically, when you awake Leah's iPhone from an idle state a picture of Tyson Chandler appears. The Thunder similarly thought they had taken an important step in building a winning franchise when they acquired Tyson Chandler from the New Orleans Hornets. After a physical examination and concern regarding Chandler's toe, the Thunder were forced to terminate the deal. Leah wears some really strange boots and shoes, so it wouldn't surprise me if she had toe trouble as well. In all seriousness, this is a big loss for this young blog as Leah brought a lot of great ideas, writing, passion and experience to the table. I encourage you to read some of her articles from a column she used to write in the Tufts Daily titled "Baseline Banter":
