1.  The Cubs should tank and/or blow it wildly, letting the Brewers run away with it all.

2.  Barry Bonds should hit 756, just to save our fingernails, our patience, and our sanity.

3.  Pedro Martinez should not be called up to the major leagues until September 2nd, as to be ineligible to pitch in the playoffs.

4.  All ESPN/FOXSports execs who think that the world HAS to watch BOS/NYY whenever they are on should be shot.

5.  The Royals should go on a 15 game winning streak, yet fall 2 games under .500, just for kicks and giggles.

6.  The Boston Red Sox should put David Ortiz on waivers for 24 hours, and see the Bronx Bombers pay him $250 million for 8 years.

7.  Ichiro, Jose Reyes, and Vlad should all go to one team, and then hit 1, 2, 3.  And then A-Rod 4th.

8.  Dayn Perry should wear a wig.  Or at least a toupee.

9.  Ben Sheets, and/or Chris Capuano, and/or Jeff Suppan, and/or Yovani Gallardo, and/or Claudio Vargas, and/or Dave Bush should throw a no-hitter/perfect game.

10.  Prince Fielder should hit 4 HRs in one game, one being a grand slam, one being a 3-run home run, one being a 2-run home run, and one being a solo shot.

11.  The Dodgers and Giants should have an all-out brawl, suspending all active players and coaches for a week with no appeals allowed.

12.  The same thing should happen to the Cubs and Cardinals.

13.  The same thing should happen to the Red Sox and Yankees.

14.  Another ball will hit a speaker in the Metrodome, giving David Ortiz an inside-the-parker.

15.  The Brewers should have the best record in the NL.

In Vegas, you want to win.  You plan on losing.  Lucky for you, you start to win.  Then, you start to win big.  Then, you start raking (literally) in the money.  Next, the big, happy free-fall.

You end up winning 1 million dollars, but then waste it all away in an hour.  You never win another roulette bet, you #### in up during Craps, you renamed the slot machines "slots to take your money".  Your not too happy.

The Twins were like that this year. They sucked at the beginning, no one giving them a snowball's chance in heck.  Then, they pull off this unforseen 2nd half, slowly passing all but Kansas City, who only TIED for the worst in Baseball.  We didn't see it possible passing Chicago, but, we didn't think the Yankees were going to make the playoffs either until the Boston Massacre 2. 

We saw the unthinkable again for like the 4th time in the past month or so, with the Royals sweeping the Tigers to give the Twins the AL Central.  Of course, the others were the beer glass almost running out, the absolute #### formerly know as the Windy City, and the Brewers.  Ok, not them.  It was the Pinstripes killing (and ending them up in 3rd place) Boston Red Sox. (I mean, who'd a thunk the Blue Jays would end up in 2nd?

But, the A's swept the Twins, including two at what is arguably the best home field (or at least WAS) advantage in Baseball.  I was really rooting for them.  This sucks.

However, all is not lost.  We still have the Packers to root for (Quietly, it's sorta unheard of in Wisconsin rite now) and the  Bucks, but I really don't care about them.  Oh yeah, we have the Badgers.  They're sorta good.  I hate Michigan.

Well, that's the end of the Road for right now, but you'll have another fork coming up soon.  Pick it up, please, it was mine.  I was eating sushi, never a big fan of the chopsticks.  Oh, yeah, the decision.  Please choice the road less traveled...
