Win it?
I... dunno.
She better start saving, too. Just in case.
But the odds...
If you had bet they'd *get* to the WS by then you'd have a pretty good shot. They have a decent core coming up.
And any really good GM with a decent owner behind them--anybody not named Dolan or Loria--can in four or five years build a team that can make the playoffs. After that it is a pure crapshoot unless you have *two* stud #1 pitchers ala Holliday and Lee or Strasburg and Gonzalez. And even then *winning* the thing is far from a certainty. Just ask any Tigger fan about Verlander...
Stuff happens.
Or as Yogi used to say "ya never know".
I assume you hunt for good baseball books?
You ever run into this one?

Truly proves that in the one true sport anything can happen and often has.
