On Nov. 28, 2004, my first Teen Vox article was published. It was a piece voicing my displeasure with the way the New York Yankees blew a 3-0 lead in the American League Championship Series to the rival Boston Red Sox, who ultimately ended up beating an 86-year curse and winning the World Series.

Over the past five years, I have written an article nearly every single month. I have tried to concentrate on what I truly have a passion for - sports. Every opinion on nearly every sports matter and controversy has been voiced through my articles.

Also, in 2005, I took a trip to China, and my entire adventure was shared with you through the Teen Vox.

Today, you will be reading me for the last time.

I recently graduated from Gloversville High School and in late August will be going to college at the State University of New York at Oswego.

For my last article, I am going to randomly pick articles I have written out of my stack of more than 50, and discuss their relevance in 2009.

First, I pull an article from Sept. 25, 2005. Interestingly enough, this is one of my more famed articles. With one week left in the baseball season, and many tight races still going on, I correctly identified seven of the eight playoff teams. At the end of the article, I chose the Chicago White Sox to win the World Series. People told me I was crazy and that this prediction was so bold that it just couldn't come true.

The White Sox, of course, ended up sweeping the Astros 4-0 in the World Series.

The White Sox, unfortunately, finished third in their division in 2006, fourth in 2007, and second in 2008. They are poised to make a run in 2009, but I don't think Barack Obama's favorite team has enough firepower to hang with teams such as the Red Sox and the Yankees.

On Dec. 31, 2006, I wrote an article discussing various touchdown celebrations in the NFL. One player discussed quite often was the lovable Terrell Owens. Just a few short months ago, T.O. was released from the Dallas Cowboys and signed by my favorite team, the Buffalo Bills.

The Bills are looking better this year, and with T.O., they may get over that 7-9 hump and may reach a winning record, something that has eluded them for years. I look forward to watching the Bills in my dorm room and seeing all the crazy dances T.O. will unleash this season.

Next, I look at an article published on Nov. 30, 2008. The Knicks had just traded their top two players, Jamal Crawford and Zach Randolph. My article discussed how the trade not only frees cap room for the summer of 2010, but that the Knicks might actually have a fighting chance to make the playoffs.

This prediction was dead wrong.

The Knicks performed horribly. The Knicks received Al Harrington, Tim Thomas and Cuttino Mobley in the trade. Al performed well, but Tim Thomas was traded just a few months later to the Bulls, and Cuttino Mobley retired before even playing a single game in blue and orange.

The Knicks drafted Jordan Hill with their eighth pick in the 2009 NBA Draft. He is a good big man, but I don't see how the Knicks will do any better this season. As a Knicks fan, I'm just waiting for next summer to see if the Knicks make a splash in the free-agent market.

With last month's article about baseball's best player, Albert Pujols, and this nostalgic look back on years past, my time as a regular Teen Vox contributor comes to an end. Thank you to all who have read my articles faithfully each month for the past five years, and to those who may be reading this one for the first time.
