This does not surprise me in the least, though it is great information (Thanks Matt!). One year of bad luck, shame on bad luck. Year after year? Shame on the franchise. Maybe this is what should be meant by the phrase "dumb luck." Technically it means that luck has no intent, purpose or genius behind it. It is akin to "blind luck." But in the M's case, perhaps you have bad luck precisely because you are dumb. If so, it starts at the top of the food chain. The dumbest person is the one who thinks he is smart when in fact he is not. If this doesn't characterize Howard Lincoln I don't know what does. Piniella said after he left "Howard doesn't know HOW to win." And Howard has been proving it ever since.
