That is every team's goal but an unreasonable expectation.  As long as we 
don't have the talent to makeup for mistakes, we're .500 on a good year with 
an occasional dip into moderately greater success.  Worse, always looming 
overhead, is the omnipresent possibility of returning to doormatville as 
continued mediocrity sends prize recruits elsewhere.  Maureen's suggestions 
are like practicing pacifism.  They are lovely thoughts, laudable goals, but 
in the real world sooner or later the warrior kills the undefended.
