Pythagoras be damned

I have a team that is making the Pythagorean wins hypothesis look silly. After Friday night, it was 39-18 with 364 runs for and 308 against. That's a Pythagorean win percentage of .583. The actual winning percentage was .684, a difference of 101 points.
Then Saturday night it hosted the third place team in its division, and outscored it 18-11 while sweeping the series. Now the win percentages are .589 and .700, a difference of 111 points.

Has anybody else had teams that so blithely ignored Pythagoras, for better or for worse?
