My team decided a 9 game lead was too much and is now just going to lose every divisional game to tighten things up again.

jesus and that's still the least close division, everything's gonna come down to the wire here. also: the best team from both the AL and NL to miss the playoffs is basically guaranteed to come from the two West divisions, despite that team being as good as or better than any of the other four division leaders. West Best. Baseball's weird.

^^^dammit jebus

e: I have the best home record somehow?? Astrodome is paradise, Astrodome Speed Forever

e2: ok not actually the best record because captmurphy's played/lost fewer, but most home wins, still cool

e3: oh yeah and I'm really glad I played kensei after gardenald got his pitching staff ready for me, I scored 41 runs in the last two of our series (only 5 in the first one weirdly, but w/e)

Meanwhile I lead the AL in pythag and normal winning percentage and both are exactly the same. Somehow my completely bizarre season has evened itself out.

There are only five teams that still have a shot at 100 wins. Ivan, with the best record, would need to go 19-6 or better. We haven't had a 100-game winner since Nero in S22.

Hahahaha it's really incredible that you could lose 11 in a row at any point and have the best record in the league

The last series I lost was to PMP an irl week and a half ago (6/25 AM-PM2), and it was the sixth series I had lost of my last eight. I went 8-15 in that span. That was preceded by my winning 14 of 16, which replaced a 7-game winning streak that came immediately after a 6-game losing streak as my most prolonged success of the season. Since losing that series to PMP on 6/25, I've won nine series in a row, and 22 of 28 games overall. (Though I should mention I've lost the first game to gyro, and am already on the verge of snapping said streak.)

To recap, my last 67 games can be broken down as such: won 87.5% for 16 games, lost 65.2% for 23 games, won 78.6% for 28 games, or in less number-y words: there are a literal rollercoaster of emotion, which I suppose is still better than the Enron Ride of Broken Dreams.

Hahaha in game 2 I was up 1-0 after five and a half before a McGwire two-run double and a Burrell three-run homer in the 7th (unearned because Cliff Lee booted a routine grounder for his first error) and my 9th-inning rally fell just short so I lost again with the tying run at second.

at least you're leading the Wild Card! jeff would be, at worst, 2 games up in any of the East or Central divisions, but he'll probably miss the playoffs because You Can't Predict Sim Baseball, Suzyn. Speaking of raw deals, EB has the best run differential and could very well miss the playoffs. If he makes it, it could be as one of two sub-.500 division winners. Meanwhile, only you (barely) and Ivan are still within reach of 100 wins.

I don't get this season at all

F.Hernandez enters the game to pitch.
J.Thome takes ball four.
D.Justice draws the walk.
J.Cora draws the walk. M.Cabrera scores.

That's pretty rough.
