You can only refuse to rebuild so long before.... well, you no longer have any pieces. The Portland team defied convention for a long time, but they couldn't defy reality. And eventually, all those years of organizational neglect came to bite them like the rabies.

Last year was the "expiration date" with Brown and Casas coming due for 2014. But, sadly, both became shelved in contract years, and will now seek fortunes elsewhere.

Well, Westheim, he had a great run, but sadly, you can only do so much with a dozen million in the game of baseball. It's an expensive business, and the ownership didn't want to invest.

I'm not surprised the house of cardboard fell, I'm surprised it weathered the storm so long before collapsing under its own weight.
