38 games in, and we're back at .500 and 4 games below our pythagorean record... which doesn't sound so bad if you don't look at the fact that it is the difference between a .500 and a .613 winning percentage.

That is, of course, entirely due to our ridiculous record in one-run games, which is a bit mystifying in itself. Usually that denotes a bad bullpen, and it was very true in the first couple of weeks... the bullpen sucked, took almost every loss the team had, had an ERA over 6, and most of the losses were of the one-run variety. But since then they've been lights out, dropped that ERA below 4, and yet the one-run losses keep coming.

I mean, damn... how do you outscore your opponents by 41 runs in 38 games (184-143) and be a .500 team?
