There are a lot of other good players and at least a half dozen other teams that are strong contenders for winning. Only one can. Sometimes crap doesn't go your way. If OVIE had been Flame he would have been chased out of town so long before he ever won. Fans complain about lack of patience with ownership and management, but at the soonest taste of potential success, it becomes so binary. You either walk away with the Cup, or it deserves to be blown up.

If that was true how did Iggy manage to stay so long? Cmon.
