With the departure of the Braves last night, the four winningest teams from the regular season were ousted immediately.

The Braves (104) were thwacked by the Phillies for the second straight year. They won only one game each year. The surprising Orioles finished with the second best record and 101 wins before getting swept by the Rangers. For the second straight season, the Dodgers (100( were beaten by a division rival, Arizona. And finally, the most hyped team in the game, the Rays (99) were taken out by the Rangers in the wildcard round.

Of course, everyone has explanations and none of the managers will lose their job after the major disappointment. None of this is to suggest winning is bad business.
