Seriously, when I first saw this, I thought, Shore's head is gonna explode!

we got this

Yeaaaa! 4!

Atleast we can't get Hinkied in a lottery.

Also, what's the quickest a team has ever gone from World Series Champion to #1 Overall Pick?

Marlins were pretty close the following year after the 98 WS they picked #2 overall.

...and they would've been #1 if the league didn't do the dumb AL/NL rotation back then.

Answer: the Orioles span of 5 years (83 champs, 89 #1 overall)

Philadelphia A's won a World Series, a pennant, then lost 109 and 117 games from 1913-1916. No draft picks back then.

Gradual death

2009: WS loss
2010: NLCS loss
2011: NLDS loss
2012: missed playoffs
2013: losing record
2014: last place
2015: #1 pick
2016: relegated to AAA?

The Amaro reign in a nutshell. It's really incredible what was done with the amount of resources and talent we had when he took over. Not all his fault, but holy cow.

So glad that he is gone.

He did do a few nice things but he was generally terrible and a huge ass while doing things terribly.

Maybe he can star in some entertaining videos for us.



Cool note: Cody Decker - the guy who makes these films (AntiHero) - called up by Padres this week.

Have to think there's someone out there on a padres board to suck the joy out of that moment too.

He added Halladay, Lee, Oswalt, Pedro to the starting staff. Has everyone forgotten that? Three division titles in a row, winning more games each year. Won a bunch of playoff games.

Phils had some bad luck and poor drafts. Didn't make any more good trades. Team got old in a hurry. Amaro gets the blame because he was the boss. I'm also glad he's gone. But let's not forget he started off very well.
