    My great great father was born in 1855...he died when he was 101.
    Someone told him in 1862, "eventually they will win it all"
    He waited 100 years for the Dodgers to be WS champs.
    They were right.

    People who wasted their past and are without much of a present end up being from the future because while the past is dark or rose tinted, the present with batteris not included may be dim or unplayed with, but the future is full of the brightness of hope. Hope that you can turn on the lightbulb.
    And see the light.

    It's not empathy. It's jealousy.

    And I don't just want to say/know we won, I want to experience it. Of course that's part of it.

    And my sex analogy was good, it's your time machine sci-fi thought experiment that was worthless.

    Let's win 3 of the 5 next WS and laugh about this argument in 5 years.

    Love the great John Ramsey on the PA. Pretty sure that was Helen Dell (pre Nancy Bea) on the Dodger Stadium organ.

    Johnny Cueto expected to opt-out of his deal after the season
    by Craig Calcaterra | NBC Sports — 23 Jun 2017

    Johnny Cueto signed a six-year $130 million deal with the Giants prior to the 2016 season. In his first season he went 18-5 with a 2.79 ERA and 198 strikeouts in 219.2 innings, helping lead the Giants to the playoffs. This season has been rocky for Cueto — he’s got a a 4.42 ERA in 15 starts and has battled blisters — but they’ve been far rockier for the Giants overall, as they sit in last place in the NL West and have the second worst record in baseball.

    Many suspect that the Giants will either rebuild or, at the very least, restructure some in response to this nightmare year. If so, they’re likely going to be doing it with Cueto, who Jon Heyman reports is going to opt-out of his deal:

    "San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto is planning to opt out of his contract at the end of the year, but he would listen to any extension offer . . . Cueto has $84 million to go over four years. It would probably take an injury or major slump for Cueto not to opt out. But it makes sense that he will."

    Heyman says the Giants are not inclined to give him an extension, so expect to see Cueto on the free agent market three days after the World Series ends, which is the deadline for him to exercise his opt-out rights.​
