Just give us one more chance, please?

What if we played the World Series with only 23 players?  We’ll happily forfeit two players if it means we can play some more baseball.

Dodgers:  What if we give you Jake Arrieta?  I know he’s a free agent, but he’s a really nice guy.

What if we also give the Dodgers some money?  C’mon Dodgers, we know you like money, too.  How much is it going to take?  Please answer me!

They’re never going to win another game ever again.

They won’t, they just won’t.  Is the curse back?  Oh no, I think the curse is back!  What are we going to do?

Why should we worry about it in the first place?  They’re never going to be back there again, ever.  Plus, everyone’s going to leave when they’re a free agent.

They might as well trade Rizzo and Bryant too for that matter.  I can’t trust them anymore!
