[QUOTE="Squints, post: 1001191, member: 822"] Most of those championships came in a different universe of college sports so I don't think it's a useful comparison but to have extended success like that you have to be both good and lucky. Particularly in baseball where the variance of outcomes is a lot higher than pretty much any other sport. The sport is inherently random. And that is amplified when compressed to a small number of games in a tournament setting. This is true all the way from little league to MLB. It has been examined and dissected over and over and over again. It is what it is. It's rarely [I]all[/I] luck one way or the other but I don't think anyone is saying that. It's just a straw man the same half dozen people trot out when they want to complain. But pretending like it doesn't play a role or hand waving it away just tells me you don't understand the sport.
