I just don't think we can do any worse, but we can definitely do a hell of a lot better.
It seems all but guaranteed this season ends in a truly depressing but fully expected manner, and at this point in Allen's career, it just cannot be excused or justified anymore. Beane has failed us. McDermott did a great job of rebuilding things and getting us over the hump but he just doesn't have the edge required to go all the way with anything less than a perfect roster and a lot of luck along the way.
We deserve better than this, and so does Josh.
