I know it would probably be a lot of work, but if all teams in that list were set in team colors like the Orioles are, it would look gorgeous.

He'll probably do it if you tempt him lol

:laughlol: I wouldn't do that. It's probably a lot of work. It was just a thought.

If you did half and he did have, it would probably be less work between you two

I doubt it only because he will be a lot faster at it than me. He's been doing the stuff with colors a long time and likely already knows the colors he needs whereas I don't.

I know that you asked for them in the order of their respective rankings, but I have them in alphabetical order instead.

Maybe next week.

That's cool. I didn't think you'd do it so fast if at all. You must have them all saved to a notepad or something, huh?

Good thing we only lost 1 game out of 8 or we might have dropped a half dozen slots.

Os have 2nd best record in baseball. I pick Os first based on that.

It *looks* like a playoff team. You have got to love how they can beat the teams they need to beat. Not too much scuffling against weird starters, and very straightforward power bullpen pitching to back up the shaky staff. Taking pressure off those guys has been good for them, I think.

Very pleasantly surprised. You have to imagine there will have to be some falling to Earth by guys like Trumbo but there's really too much latent power for the team to slack off by that much. They will keep slugging.

I didn't really realize how easy the Orioles schedule is looking at this point in the season. Granted, a lot can still happen, but if the rest of the AL stays as weak as it is now, there may be more than one 100 win team in

the AL when it's all said and done. I have a hard time believing it's going to stay this way, though. It will be interesting to see how both leagues pan out as the season progresses.

As silly as it sounds, I think losing on both Sundays the last 2 weeks has actually hurt their chances of rising. It's crazy that this team has the 2nd best record in baseball yet can't crack the 5th spot.

It would be, if the poll was best record poll. We currently have the 9th best expected record, which is a much better predictor than current record, so they seem to be overrating us if anything.

Yes, everyone knows that projections are far more important than actual results. By the way, I have some property that you might be interested in:
