Alright we got Grady Fuson on the line, former head of scouting with the Oakland Athletics. And, Grady, can you interpret for us what's going on?

They call it Moneyball.

Moneyball?

Yes, and it was a nice theory, and now it's just not working out.

Billy Beane has built this team on the ideas of a guy, Bill James who wrote an interesting book on baseball statistics. The problem is that Bill James never played, never managed. He was in fact a security guard at a pork-and-beans company.

Do you see this as a decimation of the organization?

I think that he bought a ticket on the Titanic.

Oh, boy.

He's tried to come up with a new approach. My hat's off to him. It won't work.
