Teams always mimic the team that won the championship last season. THe fact is that it doesn't work. There is no set way to win it, you've got your Red Sox, Marlins, Angels, Yankees and so on. It doesn't matter what type of team you throw out there. In the end, to win it, you have to have a hell of a team, a lot of god damn luck and more heart than imaginable. Since 1917, the White Sox haven't had it. Money doesn't win championships. Ask Steinbrinner.
