We Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way: The Truth About The "Think Blue Flu."

Five seems to be the magic number for the Dodgers in the past decade.

Think about it. 2004, 2009, and now 2013.

And just when things looked bleak for the "Blue Crew," we went on that magical run where we went 42-8 in 50 games.

Some call it the Power of Puig, and let's be honest, Yasiel did what he was expected to do upon joining the big club, he provided a much needed spark.

But there's so much more to it.

Because something swept over not only the Southern California region, but also, and most importantly, the City of Los Angeles.

It's something there's no cure for.

Everyone has caught the flu!

The Think Blue Flu that is!

And we wouldn't have it any other way!
