Your retarted
First and foremost, it's most important to point out that despite all the injuries the Good Guys have sustained this year, and they have been by the bagful, we have managed to scratch out an 8 game lead in the weak Central. We also happen to have the best record in the AL, altho only .003 points separates us from Houston and Boston. In essence, we're in a 3 way tie for the #1 postseason slot. Our record tho is perhaps a touch misleading. I don't have the specifics in front of me, but I believe I heard last night during the draft discussions that our boyz are 2 games under .500 against teams with winning records. In other words, we're feasting off of the losers. Now that's not too terrible of an issue. When you bring up splits on most teams with winning records, they tend to beat up on the lower levels and play closer to .500 ball with the better clubs. Obviously, I'd like to see us win more games than lose against teams that we might face in the playoffs - duh. But we can only play what's on our schedule, and if we have a greater number of games against teams with losing records, then so be it. Besides, this is the MLB. Any team can beat any team on any given day.
