According to His theory, examining a team’s run differential can provide a more accurate understanding of its true strength, as opposed to simply looking at its winning percentage. Over the course of a season, a team’s actual record should gravitate towards a record more reflective of its run differential.

These monster contracts are finally biting them in the ass. Wait till the seats start looking more and more empty.

After today, +7 run differential, with an offense that keeps dropping down off a cliff. This is the 2011 Phillies without the pitching staff.

we may be in last place in 48 hours in not a word about the upper mis management?

Lets blame Randy Levine! Hes the one who traded our young offensive star for an inured pitcher…. Oh no wait

I’m sorry I came into camp fat and out of shape.
