Will Leitch came back to write a bunch of playoff preview columns.

And that we're 2-9 in the playoffs since the World Series
and then there's the "about to implode on itself" talk that seems to neglect the cheap, young talent currently anchoring the team as well as those in AAA and AA that would prevent any implosion. Its actually pretty funny, here's what Leitch says of our team's makeup:
