This is kind of an interesting example of how hard it is to win the world series more than once. I keep lamenting this offseason because it seems like the teams in our "bracket" keep getting better, and we're not exactly doing a lot. But that's because we did a lot last year, and the year before. We won the world series because we spent a lot of money two offseasons in a row, and it's hard to keep doing that. I imagine it's that way for a lot of world series winners -- a spike in spending and wins, and then a period of stagnation.
