At least we're not one of the 10 worst pro-sports franchises

[bork]

Pirates #1, Royals #2, Rays #4, Twins #7.

 

It's a very poorly written article, but hey, at least we're not on the list.

I'm a little confused on the Twins. They won it all in '87 and '91. Did the writer do any research?

[Ando Calrissian]

What a terrible attempt at an article. Some of the organizations on the list are quite awful, but his analysis was attrocious, particularly in regard to the Twinkies.

Puzzling personnel plays: Trading Johan Santana and failing to re-sign Torii Hunter.

 

Does the guy know anything about baseball? What a terribly written article.

[jazzytrav]

Yeah, pretty sure his analysis on the Twins was the analysis of any and every small market team that can't afford to pay some players. Not sure why they were singled out.

[zzzmanwitz]

As has been said already. One of the worst articles i've ever seen.

[Diskono]

This guy sure has some nice hindsight goggles. And no Chicago Blackhawks?

The Brewers deserve to be on that list over the Twins. Horrible article.

[RyDogg66]

I read that article earlier. I would say worst article of all time, but it is on par with the rest of Fox Sports coverage. Pathetic that this is called sports journalism.

At least he corrected one glaring mistake. It used to say:

 

The closest the Pirates have come to 83 wins (otherwise known as a winning season)

Now he changed it to 82.

haha, you know the team has been bad when (on May 8) we have to start with the "at least we're not X".

In past years the Blackhawks have typically been number 1 on this list. The recent death of the very short-and-narrow-sighted owner as well as an infusion of young talent probably played into them moving out of the bottom 10.

One year moved em out(a year where they didnt' even make the playoffs, might i add)? No, i think this guy just doesn't really know what he is talking about. Despite the past year or so, the blackhawks are still one of the worst franchises in the past 15 years or so.

Yeah, he must have been reading the comments section cause those guys were ripping him apart, and that was one of the comments by an observant reader.

One could argue that the Twins are one of the best organizations in sports.

 

Both the Brewers and Bucks could very well be in the bottom 10. I suppose the mild success plus future potential could move the Brewers out of the bottom 10.

"Ken Tremendous" at FJM has already responded. He seems to think the Knicks belong here.

I agree that the Arizona Cardinals is a bad organization. But he makes fun of them for trying to win the last game of the 2003 season?
