We will win the World Series this year. Yasiel Puig will be the hero of course. And this will happen in the offseason... We lose one of our FO Alex Anthopolous to the Twins who becomes their new president of baseball operations. We trade for Brian Dozier and Earvin Santana of the Twins in a deal centered around Alex Verdugo, Brock Stewart, Kyle Farmer, Micah Johnson, and Rob Segedin. We replace him by signing Ian Desmond who can be a serviceable emergency SS and can hit lefties. Desmond essentially replaces Kike/Culberson on the roster as well. We resign Justin Turner, Rich Hill, Chase Utley and Kenley Jansen. Josh Reddick signs with the Giants after hating being heckled by the fans in RF. Starters: Kershaw, Hill, Maeda, Santana, Urias Regulars 2B: Dozier SS: Seager 3B: Turner 1B: Gonzales RF: Puig C : Grandal LF: Toles CF: Pederson Bench: Desmond OF/SS, Kendrick LF/3B, Utley 2B/1B, Barnes C, Thompson OF Relievers: Jansen, Wood, DeLeon, Stripling, Liberatore, Dayton, Baez, Avilan With plenty of -soon to be out of a job- SP on the roster expensive veteran long relievers like Blanton and Howell can be replaced since they are FA. Kazmir will probably become a FA if not he can try and be a long reliever too (good luck) Veterans like Ethier, Ryu, and McCarthy can be waiting in the minors in case someone gets injured or falters. This year the injury prone players will be the depth not the other way around.
I vote 101+ Wins because why not? What I really want to know... Rube, is this something you smoke? Take as a pill? And what kind of drug is it? I might want some.
so you think that they'll finish the season 23-1?? yeah you are going to need some of Rube's stash if you're thinking that way
oh, thanks. nevermind. I'll stick with 92. Would like 95 but as long as we're in the playoffs the exact # is irrelevant.
much more interested in 2016 myself so I'd read this as what do we predict for this year. fuck 2017. it ain't time to give a shit for 2017. waaaaay early like Irish said. fuck all of 2017, we've still got business in front of us this year
Fuck yo couch cap! Im laying down positivity for this year. Like in field of dreams. Why you gotta rain on my field of dreams. Watcha gonna do when Juliomania runs wild on you!
I was drinking tea when i wrote this. 4 limes a thumb of ginger a pinky of turmeric 2 leaves of lemon verbena steeped for 30 minutes. And right before that had scalp massaged with pepermint wintergreen and frankincense oils. And had a dinner of 3 quinoa millet mushroom fish pate sushiritos with a walnut based pesto. But i would have preferred a fosters ale a double double and a blunt.
I grow my own eggs and as a responsible farmer always count my chickens before they hatch. Its called reckoking. #nerdlife
fosters cans are pretty good sized ill drink two, 3 is a little much for me i didnt have the healthiest liver in my twenties trying to make sure i keep that sucker from swelling up again
No need to get a lather up there Rube Ain't nobody raining on any field of dreams I'm about now. The Dodgers could/should win it THIS YEAR was all I'm saying. Next year, and the off season brainstorming over what could of been, will have plenty of time for venting.. once we're wearing rings. (just sharing some positive juju there buddy)
Fosters is a good choice though they do not compare to the Foster's from Australia we used to see 20+ years ago. Still good but they used to be better And by all means protect your liver, you only get one don't let drunkards, including myself, bias your thoughts Gone are the days of killing 24+ cervezas on a warm afternoon (unless Fordie is in the room) days of our youth etc...
