baseball is a long season - hottest team in baseball a month ago is back to .500 but still in first place I am told every day...

I wouldn't lump the Giants in with those other teams. Bad, sure. But at least they play baseball.

The Giants of the second worst record in the majors and tied for the second worst run differential Giants? Those Giants?

Yeah. I mean, small sample. But I've watched those three teams play 5-6 games each. The Giants (other than Devers) seem like they're trying to win.

The other two are just going through the motions. They still suck thouhg.

Most of us let the standings tell us what place a team is in, but it's OK if you use a Ouija board.

But yes, despite being in first place, the Mariners are the definition of mediocrity.

I never realized Ernie Clement was the best player in the AL.

Most teams that aren't Mets, Giants, and Rockies would go 9-2 against the Mets, Giants, and Rockies 

I think most of the Cubs roller coaster is a product of their schedule. Cubs are currently 20-24 against teams with a run differential higher than -20 (and 6-1 of that is against the Phillies before they changed managers). They're 24-13 against teams below that. Their schedule has featured two long stretches of soft teams where to their credit, they took care of business. Once the schedule picked up, they spiraled.

Cubs haven't won a series against a team with better than a -47 run differential since May 3rd. Gonna need to see more against good teams before I believe they are back.

Of course now that I've posted this, they are going to sweep the Brewers.

I am worried because the Cubs are playing in a modern stadium instead of that sh*thole that is their home field. The cream rises to the top when you get to play in places like AFF.

His IQ is much lower than Miz's average fastball mph.
