It could be worse?

Alright, friends and neighbors.

Yes, we know. Dusty sucks, Hendry may be his manslave, and Pujols is not necessarily taking enough HGH's to kill a small horse.
It's not that I don't think we should have these debates. I think we should! But I get bored after I've made my point and being right... blah blah... I'm sure you all know the feeling.

So here's the deal, yo. In this diary, we're going to focus on the following statement:

It could ALWAYS be worse

Now, I don't want this to become some kind of fate-tempting thread... absolutely NO predictions of injuries to currently uninjured players. We all know how Lee learned his lesson about that...

Let's say, instead of Lou Piniella, what if Lou Ferrigno was chosen to be our manager? "Neifi make Hulk ANGRY!!!!!!!!!!"
Or what if instead of just looking like the man in the yellow hat, Mark Prior was actually replaced by the man in the yellow hat.

Again, this is NOT to bring bad karma onto us, but to celebrate that as bad as it is, it could always be worse.

yellow hat

I think that resembles Kyle Farnsworth a little bit with the tight pants and all...

Neither did the Sox when they won..

The fans will show when the winning starts occuring.. the two are typically correlational.

Glendon Rusch

Oh wait...

Ok. Glendon Rusch could be pitching EVERY day.

We could

have Ozzie as our coach and have every other word bleeped out in his post game press conferences.

and just be

totally nuts...

and probably be on more drugs than his players...

or Bonds

and be in the uncomfortable position of cheering for a cheater, like Giants fans.

You know,

I was thinking about that the other day at the Reds game.

What would you give for a Dunn/corked bat scandal?

by Sarah Hope on Jun 13, 2006 1:46 PM CDT up reply actions

how about

1 nationally televised game, I only get to watch one or two games a month, so this is really big for me

but the hours of dunn quotes would be worth it.

Or Sammy..

..could still be grazing out in right...<shudder>

It could be revealed

that Dusty is the second coming of whatever prophet you believe in, in which case we'd all be doomed, and he'd spit toothpick bits onto us from on high, adding fuel the fires of hell, which would suck and be worse than our current reality, probably.

by Short4Fanatic on Jun 13, 2006 2:46 PM CDT reply actions

Or worse still

We could be Kansas City Royal fans. No hope there at all.

First Boston, then the White Sox, its now the Cubs turn.

Hope vs. No Hope

If I was a KC fan, I'd have hope.

They just got a brand-new GM with some serious pedigree.

We'll see how it goes.

It will take him...

... five years to clean up that mess.

by Al Yellon on Jun 14, 2006 8:29 AM CDT up reply actions

It could be worse...

We could be just 5 outs away from going to our first World Series in decades and some fan could get in the way of a fly ball starting off a disasterous chain of events..

The 2006 Chicago Cubs. Big league payroll...minor league team.
