A Closer LQQk

Okay, I've tweaked the naming on my stats.

FTHEYANKS now equals the number of games a team is behind the average first place team NOT including the leader in the team's own division. This will be shortened to FTY.

FTHEYANKS2HELL now equals the number of games a team is behind the average first place team, including all 6 division leaders. This will be shortened to FTY2.

The Red Sox' FTY is a mere 0.7. So if you put us in a random non-AL East division 100 or 1,000 or a million times, we'd be an average of less than a game out of first place.

Our FTY2 is 1.4. So include the AL East and we're still less than a game and a half out.

Unfortunately, but, down the line, fortunately, we're in a division with a team that started out playing much better than anyone else in baseball, though they are finally coming down to earth.

Swingin' A's @ SOX, 7:10 E-daylight.
