Now that George is gone, what if we never win another game?

4. What if our refusal to toss in Sergio, or Ivan, or Romulo, or Amaury, or Eduardo along with Jesus for Cliff Lee causes Texas to become unstoppable, our starters to become beleagured, and we never win another game?
5. What if we never win another game?
