A Quote by Billy Beane
I hate this idea that I've somehow become detached. It's like I can't win. I'd been hearing all these years that I was too hands-on: that I was the guy writing out the lineup card. Now, I'm not present enough. How is it possible to be a detached micromanager?

Is this really a wonderful way to spend our tax dollars, to have these men drone away about how against hate they are?
