We've got about a month to go with the season. WITHOUT taking a look at the standings, what team would you guess has the best record in the majors? I guess I haven't been paying attention.

Mythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer. Unfortunately, he also hits AND throws like one." I am Venus DeMilo - NO ARM! I can play like a big leaguer, I can field like Luzinski, run like Lombardi. The secret to managing is keeping the ones who hate you away from the undecided ones. I am a triumph of quantity over quality. I'm almost useful, every village needs an idiot.

That would have seemed a surprise at the beginning of the year, but they are only 2nd best (AND ahead of the Yank:flow: )Originally posted by GiambiJuice View PostMythical SF Chronicle scouting report: "That Jeff runs like a deer.

I'll tell you who it is. It's the frigging Nats. They have the best pitching staff in the majors.
46 wins to match last year's total Comment

The team with the most wins has played 3 more games than the Nats.Originally posted by RuthMayBond View PostComment

True. I didn't say they were better than the Nats, but would anyone have guessed this?

I thought it was the Nats, too, so I looked it up. I wouldn't have guessed it either.They call me Mr. Baseball. Not because of my love for the game; because of all the stitches in my head.Comment

Without looking it up, I'm gonna guess Cincinnati. (EDIT: I made this guess before I saw the post directly above mine)
My two initial guesses would have been A) Washington or B) New York had they not already been previously proven incorrect.Last edited by wu-tang clan; 08-28-2012, 04:12 PM."Baseball is really fun"~ Joe Dimaggio

We like to keep a low profile. LOL
The 10-game winning streak the Reds had a few weeks ago didn't hurt...and that was done without Joey Votto.Comment

There's no such thing as an ultimate stat.Comment

So my question is: Do we all agree the Reds are the best team in baseball this year?Comment

just a quick look
Astros 7-2
Cubs 9-4
Rockies 5-1
Padres 6-2
against the better teams
braves 5-1
dodgers 1-2
giants 4-3
nats 2-5
pirates 6-6
cards 6-61. The more I learn, the more convinced I am that many players are over-rated due to inflated stats from offensive home parks (and eras)
