Whether you like him or not, and no matter how hard you try to demean him, bear in mind that Cox has 1800 wins and eleven straight division titles. Bill James selected him as the best manager in baseball for a reason: he IS the best manager in baseball.
I'm not gonna argue with you b/c its pointless.

Notice that I didn't say "division winner". I said "winner".

Yes, given that squad, I think I could win 83 games in a season. You don't think you could do that.

I didnt demean him at ALL. I just pointed out the quality of squads that he had to work with.

Sorry, dude. I forgot that its impossible to disagree with you. I think he's a good manager, but the best.....I'm not so sure about.

.........but if Bill James said it, its gospel.
