An Unfortunate Oversight

"First Manager To 'Leave Post' Odds", March 28:

Is it obvious enough yet?

McLaren was definitely the best one here. Widely respected baseball men expected them to win 92 games, and they're on pace to lose 108. We nailed that one, they just canned a different guy.

But after that, how'd we miss Randolph? The manager of a team that blew a seven game lead in 18 days, which was expected to win 90+ games this year, in the biggest media market in the world. The fact that he got fired when they weren't even doing that poorly (34-35) only accentuates the point; there wasn't much margin for error.

Oh well. At least they handled it professionally.
