It's overrated and Beane is actually a very un- ambitious guy who is shyte scared to pit his wits at the sharp end .

The Oakland A's play offs are our Championship campaign .

They can't cut it post regular season anymore than we can in the championship using this model .

The big dogs eat em in the post season just as we get eaten in the championship .

The only merit to it is that it comes in on budget so in affect Beane can get away with it and carry on with his fantasy model .

The problem he has here is that eventually it ain't going to come in on budget because failure is far more severe over here financially .

There's no doubt in my mind he's more to do with this shyte show than the actual owners .

The owners are getting aggressive because Beane's fecked up on recruitment and they didn't sign up to have to put their hands in their pockets .

Beane and James Cryne should be getting the pelters far more than they are doing in my opinion .
The Chines hate losing. I don't think they are here to save money. I think they've been hoodwinked by the model too. You're not telling me Chien Lee enjoyed boardroom meetings with the Birmingham and Cardiff owners after they'd both licked us twice.
