“In essence, Goldman has managed to do again what it has always done so well: embrace risks that its rivals feared to take and, for the most part, manage those risks better than its rivals dreamed possible.” — New York Times report on Goldman’s second quarter 2009 profits. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/13/business/13goldman.html?em
“Meanwhile the Indians, save Grady Sizemore, Asdrubal Cabrera, and Shin Soo Choo, are a walking cloud of regression. Ben Francisco, Kelly Shoppach, Ryan Garko, did I mention Ben Francisco? Jeremy Sowers, The Raffys, Jensen Lewis and on and on and on. Combine those with young promising players that never developed like Andy Marte and Josh Barfield and all of a sudden you have an organization that is failing from the ground up.
