No what that artice said — in fact, no matter what — the Washington Nationals are a cinch for last place again this year, IMHO.
Quick question: Where can I find a photo of all the championship banners flying over Oakland Coliseum that have been earned during the Billy Beane regime? OK, forget about that, how about a World Series banner, for at least appearing in the World Series? OK, forget about that, how about any evidence of even one playoff series victory during Beane’s regime?
Billy Beane is one of the baseball world’s most overrated elements. He competes in a 4-team league with two of the worst-performing organizations in baseball (Texas and Seattle) and despite that huge advantage still never wins anything. But every year, his self-promotion and sycophantic press allies continue the sham. What a joke. Win something, ever, Beane. Just once. Then come tell us how smart you are.
Lets go Astros.
Go Red Sox!! Make it three in six years.
