1) Win 83 games
2) Sell bobbleheads
3) Pray that a team objectively better than you flames out spectacularly in the next 2 months

1) Win 83 games
2) Sell bobbleheads
3) Pray that a team objectively better than you flames out spectacularly in the next 2 months

Jesse Winker deserves better.
Jonathan India deserves better.
Derek Johnson and David Bell deserve better.
Chris Welsh, John Sadak and Jim Day deserve better.
The city deserves better.
The fans deserve better.
