Steve Levy, on Sportscenter, remarking about the Yankees' worst shutout road loss in the history of the Yankees franchise:

"This is not the Marlins franchise! This is the Yankees we are talking here."

You mean the Florida Marlins who have more World Series titles in the past decade than any other team in the major leagues not named the New York Yankees? That means they win more championships than 28 other major league teams. And you use them as the laughing-stock of the MLB?

What about the Tampa Bay Devil Rays who have the worst MLB franchise winning percentage since 1900???

What about the Texas Rangers who have a worse franchise record than the Marlins and without winning a pennant since they joined the league in 1961?

Obviously, Levy has yet to read The Baseball Economist's JC Bradbury's piece on the most efficient MLB franchises...
