...and the naysayers return

by sarchasmic on Mar 22, 2005 10:29 AM PST

Just when I was starting to think that maybe people had started to evaluate Beane's moves with more open minds.

David Sabino of si.com writes in his fantasy preview, "Since the other three teams in the division have all improved, I have a hard time fathoming Oakland finishing anywhere but last."

Nothing else of real substance or anything new here, but it will be nice to add this to the list of pundits eating crow by season's end.

Anyone keeping a list?

Someone out there must be keeping track of all these predictions.

David Sabino will be...

eating his own #2's out of the SI executive john come October when the 2005 World Champion Oakland Athletics are crowned.

Non-baseball writers should not be allowed to write about baseball in professional publications.

Baseball is not a clock sport.

It is not an indoor sport.

It is not a rectangular field sport.

If a writer can write football or basketball, he can probably pull off hockey and soccer, but NOT BASEBALL!
