"The first four-five years I was here, we were expected to lose 100 games every year," Zimmerman said. "It's way more fun when you're expected to win close to 100 games. That's the beautiful thing about baseball -- the game is not played on paper, and those expectations are made assuming that everyone stays healthy, that people perform to an average season, and that obviously never happens in baseball. That's why [baseball[ is the best -- you play so many games over such a long period of time that you do actually see what team is the best team.
