I have had a few great starts this year, and all have slowed down sooner or later. 162 games is just too many for most good teams to overcome to be great. I just had a US Cell team off to a great start with six less games played at home than on the road. I was 19-5 at home with six home games coming up and promptly lost 2 of 3 before being swept by the worst team in the league. Your hitters and pitchers are all going well, with nowhere to go but down. Sorry to be a naysayer, but you haven't even played 20% of the season yet. 90%(at least) of these fast starts wake up to reality before the season is out IMO. Take a look at the statistics for the Tours 1st league for the win totals. Very few dominate, even in autoleagues. While reality hasn't reared it's ugly head yet, I'm betting you meet him before the season ends.
