--- Quote ---...The only way to decide this is by winning seasons. Let's take the last nine seasons and see how many teams in each sport has had more winning seasons than losing seasons. In other words how many teams in each sport has finished with a winning record at least five times in the last nine seasons.

Major League Baseball

9 winning seasons - Red Sox, Yankees

8 winning seasons - Cardinals, Dodgers

7 winning seasons - A's, Angels, Astros, Braves, Phillies, Twins, White Sox

6 winning seasons - Diamondbacks, Mets

5 winning seasons - Blue Jays, Cubs, Giants, Mariners

Total - 17

National Basketball Association

9 winning seasons - Spurs, Mavericks

8 winning seasons - Lakers, Pistons

7 winning seasons - Jazz, Rockets, Suns

6 winning seasons - Heat, Kings, Nuggets

5 winning seasons - Cavs, Nets, Timberwolves

Total - 13

National Football League

8 winning seasons - Colts, Patriots

7 winning seasons - Broncos, Eagles, Steelers

6 winning seasons - Buccaneers, Jets, Packers, Ravens, Seahawks

5 winning seasons - Cowboys, Giants, Titans

Total - 13

National Hockey League

9 winning seasons - Avalanche, Devils, Red Wings, Senators, Stars

8 winning seasons - Flyers

6 winning seasons - Blues, Canucks, Capitals, Hurricanes, Maple Leafs, Sharks

5 winning seasons - Ducks

Total - 13

As I said before, each league has a different amount of teams. The NFL has 32 teams meaning that the 13 teams that have more winning seasons than losing seasons is only 40 percent. The NBA and NHL each have 13 teams with more winning seasons than losing seasons but only 30 total teams, making it 43 percent for them. Major League Baseball on the other hand has 30 teams and 17 have more winning seasons than losing seasons, for a percentage of 57 percent.

wow & somebody tried to tell me that the NBA playoffs wasn't the most predictable thing in sports lol.

Javier:
This goes to show you that management and player development is really what pays off in baseball.  Throwing money at a player isn't automatic success.  All the sports blogs said that giving Carlos Lee that much money for such a long contract was going to bite the Astros in the ass.  And it started to show in the 3rd year with a significant drop in power, and now in 4th year....well I'll just say it's going to keep on getting worse.
