I just wanted to make a list of positive what if scenarios so I can rosterbate to the idea of a never before seen record setting season. What if Puig hits .320 with 30HR in the leadoff spot? What if Cray Cray "Knocking Ghetto Bitches Up" Crawford hits .290 and steals 30 bases? What if Hanley Ramirez stays healthy for the entire season? What if Agon just keeps being Agon? What if Kemp is just half of what Kemp can be? What if Geurrero hits 30HR and has less than 15 errors? What if in the future we have a conversation about how Uribe made us forget about the first 2 years? What if AJ...ok I got nothing...stays healthy I guess? What if Kershaw wins another Cy Young? What if Grienke Comes in second? What if Ryu doesn't believe in Sophomore slumps? What if Haren remembers how to be a boss? What if Beckett's rib really was the only thing holding him back? What if League doesn't let any 3 run leads turn into 0/6 run leads? What if Wilson and Jansen combine for 80 saves? What if Billingsley is 110% in June and better than before? What if Ethier doesn't have a meltdown on the bench and hits .280 with 15hrs? What if Dee Gordon is ready to be a super utility guy? 124-38 This crushes most wins in a season by 8 and also barely beats the highest winning percentage of all time (Cubs 116-36, 152 game season 1906). Feel free to answer any of these questions or add your own what if, but keep in mind I do realize this is a ridiculous outcome to expect but its my fucking fantasy so I'll write it like I want it.
That's pretty much the norm for me every year. Dodgers win about 120-130 games a year and win the ship. If only real life mimicked that just once. Matter of fact I don't care if they only won 85-95 games but seeing a dog pile and a hoisted World Series trophy would be the greatest real life video game moment.....ever!
I was traded to the Blue Jays for Jose Bautista. My ability to become a top prospect quickly allowed for the Dodgers to move me for an MVP 3rd baseman that helped lead the team to two straight WS Titles. Just glad I could do my part.
