All I need is a shot in the arm. World Series runs are predicated on winning a lot of games during the season. Winning games is the #1 driver in walk up/single game ticket sales. Butts in chairs are a great way to sell $9 beers and $35 t-shirts.
Winning is expensive, but losing is much more damaging to the bottom line. I think thats why Drayton plays to win every year. He just hasn't done it the way other successful teams have, building from the inside. We'll get there.
