It isn't excuse that only teams who are lucky win the World Series. When no statistical study can really show what factor wins in the playoffs, it becomes clear that luck is a major factor. Read the chapter Why Billy Beane's Shit Doesn't Work in the Playoffs in Baseball Between the Numbers. Oh wait, you refuse to acknowledge anything that doesn't conform to your preconceived notions.
Yep, no post-season success certainly equals to "pre-conceived" notions instead of factual reality and history having already spoken for itself.

Dumbass.
