Dumbass.
Quit hijacking your own thread, Rocky.

You really aren't following this argument are you?

Please explain Beane's style of management. You seem to have such great knowledge of it, but you cannot actually explain it.

Plus, I wasn't arguing that the A's have actually won a World Series. I'm arguing that winning the World Series requires a lot of luck.

Winning a world series requires good players, playing well at the right time of the year. If you call that luck then I guess you are right. Boston has just been really lucky the past few years.
