1. The Giants sign Miguel Cabrera for a bunch of farmhands.
2. Bruce Bochy gets a hankering to manage the Nat's AAA team or something and Ron Wotus gets promoted to top dog.
3. Brian Sabean retires and we get some new, smart person like the Chavez Latriners Assistant GM, Kim Ng, or the ex-Twins GM, Terry Ryan.
4. Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain form the best 1-2 pitching punch in baseball in 2008. (And The Beezy has a big bounce-back season.)
5. The SFG's realize the error of their ways and BLB returns for another historic season, and his mentoring of Daniel Ortmeier, Kevin Frandsen, and Fred Lewis makes them all into studly major league hitters.
By the way, check out today's Lisa Gray article at The Hardball Times entitled "My favorite baseball players." I enjoyed it for two reasons: 1) BLB made the top spot and 2) she has a smart, fun, fan's perspective, and loves ballplayers for many of the same silly reasons we all do.

p.s. you know, it is interesting - i have NEVER met a scorpio who didn't use the word "fook" and in all its conjugations - fook-er, fook-ee, fook-ier, fook-iest, fook-less...
why yes, i have LOTS of scorpios in my family, how did you guess
Great article by Lisa G. I will definitely be forming my own list soon. ( I loved how she carefully explained her criteria, then regularly ignored them to make the list.)
I notice your wish list says nada about wins and losses. There is so much more...
Happy Bday. May all your wishes come true.
Happy Birth Day + 1 -- and did we get your wish -- is Barry back?? Please?? Thanks for pointing to Lisa Gray -- a fan's fan. Abd now you start a new year -- onward! N.
