Most bizzare Pyth-y season yet?

[Kingdom]

The unlucky (although some still lucky)

Cleveland at -9 (would have easily won their division with 95 wins, instead, no playoffs)

Oakland at -5 (would have been the only 100 win team and unquestioned #1)

Cincinnati at -7 (would have had 91 wins but still out of the playoffs)

San Diego at -5 (would have been 94 wins and a playoff with Arizona)

The NL Central (would have been an even tighter race if you could believe that)

In addition, Texas was -8 and Toronto -6, despite being irrelevant.


The lucky

Philadelphia +5 (would have been under .500 and caused an increase in fire sale threads)

Seattle +7 (would have been under .500 again, had an even higher number earlier in the season)

Kansas City +6 (would have been .500, no division crown, no playoffs)

Boston +6 (would have had under 70 wins again and even more threads promising to move veterans in which he does not)

I shouldn't be in the lucky category, I was trying to lose...

And ohh there will be no increase in firesale threads, all I need is the one

[Slyder]

Sometimes its better to be lucky than good. Pythag is a bad thing to go on because my offense is vastly improved with all the changes I made midseason (McCann, Mattair, etc) than it was at the beginning when I was getting nearly shut down by everyone and my pitching was "just good enough" when on to win me a lot of games like 3-2 and most of the losses were like 4 or 5 to 0 or worst.

This season doesn't make up for the BAD luck Seattle has had. So Ill take it.

[Kingdom]

I'd rather be good than playoff cannon fodder.

I'd rather be good than playoff cannon fodder.

Screw that, Id rather be in the postseason than be good and NOT in.
