And don't get me wrong, I do like Beane, but I have to ask how it is that his teams streak during the regular season and burn out in the playoffs on a consistent basis. There has to be something to it. I want them to win it all at least once, but this is a lot of consistent fail.

They lost Game 5 to Justin Verlander, you idiot. What a chokejob!

I wish Beane would have taken the Red Sox job. It would be interesting to see what he would do with a big payroll.

Same thing Theo Epstein did.

I am not a huge Billy Beane fan, but I have to think he would do a lot better than to leave one team in shambles while losing 100+ games with his new team.

I know Beane brought a lot of it on himself, but seriously: no one ever asks this question about the Twins.
