So, what does this tell us? Almost everyone is dead-on with their Pythagorean projections except for two teams. One of them has 4 more wins than they should and one of them has 5 less than they should. Which of these two is probably more motivated to make a stink about it?

It was the classic "unfair" week of Scoresheet this week... 6 losses by a combined 7 runs. 1 win by 12 runs. It's not that I didn't have terrible relief pitching... I did... but in all those 1-run losses they all could have been won by a timely hit late in the game or in extra innings and those hits never came. Instead they ALL came in a meaningless blowout. The positive way to look at it is the team should come around. The negative is that it's already too late.
