The AL has 9 teams at .500 or above and the AL Central has 4 of them, the White Sox being the only sub-.500 team, and even they swept 3 games this weekend from the Rays.
So do we feed Flaherty to the wood chipper and bring up Manning? Fortunately, this isn’t Facebook moderated by robots without a sense of irony or satire or nuance so I can get away with saying this, metaphorically.
Scoring a “normal” number of runs the last couple games has spoiled me. Although I do remember when we had a team full of All-Star hitters and they could go week scoring fewer than 15-20 runs.
