Billy Bean's "Money Ball" Chokeland A's are 2-11 in October-baseball series!
2-11 when it counts the most!
Everybody wants to play his 2-11 Chokeland A's in the post season!
They're post-season losers....straight up!
Has does such an abysmal, post-season record ....validate sabermetrics?
(I'm drawin' a blank on this one!)
Sabermetrics ain't nothin' more than Michael Lewis/Hollywood hype!

The talent ultimately wins out when the level of competition goes up. |

The Rays are a better example of how to win on a low budget. Share a division with 2 of the biggest spending teams but year after after they are in contention

For the sake of full disclosure and for reportorial credibility ML in a "Money Ball" epilogue should have told unenlightened readers about Billy Beane's, Sabermetric, Chokeland A's abysmal 2-11 post-season record! And furthermore, Billy Beane is such an incompetent over-hyped GM he couldn't even instruct his coaches to properly instruct their players to slide on a close play at home plate! (See: Giambi, Jeremy) What's that: Little League 101? |
