I think anyone who has this opinion forgets that there's another team - 99% of the time w/ better talent than us - on the field trying to win, too.
Since Starting Pitchers is 70-80% of the game, I disagree that 99% of the time there is better talent out there because 4 of our 5 starters are better than alot of pitchers they are facing. Our hitters, though not as talented, have performed like minors leaguers for most of the season. I think this can be blamed on coaching and stubborn strategy.
