Other than not scoring a run in the 8th inning of game 7, how does it get any better? THIS year we get the big hit in that last game, THAT makes it finally our season? Last season was nothing compared to this season? How in the world is this season going to compare to the magic of last season? Not to mention the grammatical license it is taking with the word come. Yes, it technically makes sense, but why make everyone question that with such awkward structure? Anyway, here is my replacements, in a 1 minute brainstorm, by one person, not the 20 person, 5 day brainstorm they used to COME up with this crap... "This Year, It's Ours." -- double meaning on "it's" -- the year is ours, and this year the title is ours "No One Is Stopping Us Now." "Hop On." "It's Our Time." I like the first one best.

“This Year, It’s Ours.” —double meaning on “it’s”—the year is ours, and this year the title is ours

“No One Is Stopping Us Now.”

“Hop On.”

“It’s Our Time.”

I like the first one best.

I had been thinking of: "It's OUR Year!" or "OUR Year is Here!" and for 2008: "Shea Goodbye!" Actually, I can’t top “Amazin’ Again”. I had been thinking of:

“It’s OUR Year!” or
“OUR Year is Here!”

and for 2008:

“Shea Goodbye!”
