I have a problem that might fall right in with owner playoff expectation. The final score at the end of the season. I took a 1989 Dodger team that historically went 77-83 and guided it to a strong 92-70 record, finishing 7 games out. I was given a score of 22 and basically told that I should be ashamed of myself. I won 97 games and finished 2nd the year before, and was given a similar admonishment. It seems to me that unless you win the world series every single season that you are going to get an awful score. Some of us are managing historical seasons with historical transactions. We cannot "stack" our ballclub unless it was stacked historically. I don't like being told that I did a lousy job because I could only improve the team by 15 games over what they did historically.
