you've just pointed out that the Twins have been luckier than their luck has caused you to mistake them for being the more successful team.

With regards to your transparently false statement that Oakland was already good when Beane showed up, their records the prior five seasons had been .447, .465, .481, .401 (!), and .457. The team jumped 13 games his first season and have -never- had a season as bad as the one prior to his arrival.

You're factually wrong all over the place here.

I'm factually pointing out Beane was "God" in 2002 when he got the keys to the car...which he promptly missed on his draft. - Will Hunting Jun 17, 11:03 1
- Well, I agree with your last statement. That's the first thing you've said right in this thread. -- nm - David Jun 17, 11:05
