Odds are 4 in a 1,000 so probably something on top of luck.

ETA: interesting use of a player I've never even noticed in the set... :idea:

On the other hand the odds are 1 in one thousand that I make it out of the round of 36. Rather daunting odds.

that's nothing -I'm more impressed that Kershaw was a 20-game loser bust and more shockingly Kotchman hit into only 2 double plays.

that is rather impressive
this is a cruel game sometimes
I lead one of my leagues in run differential by 49 runs and finished third in division behind a team at -2 overall

it pays to see who is in your division and plan accordingly
I cleaned up on the righties and folks in my division stocked up on the lefties.

Wow! I can't remember ever seeing (a) such a big discrepancy between run differential, "expected wins" and actual wins, and (b) such a big discrepancy between won-lost record inside the division versus outside the division.

Wow.... that must have been frustrating...
