This Jeff Flanagan stuff (and I like him, BTW) about how hard it is for a small market team to win a WS? Well, jeebus, apparently it's A LOT EASIER than winning 81+ games in the regular season over a 16-year period.
There's no reason why it has to be a feast/famine, either/or prospect ("You can be like Tampa and Oakland and have no WS, or you can be the Royals with one WS and a whole bunch of shit the rest of the time."). Sure, WS are hard to come by. But who says the trade-off for one has to be multiple 100-loss seasons?

They were suppose to let more resign and get a nice big fluff piece about what a great dude he is. Instead they fired him and basically said he wasn't good at his job anymore so the media people he was nice to, and built relationships with are big mad..
I bet the guys who wrote the athletic article he called liars however are not upset.
