Wow! Diamond surprises

It's startling to see the Athletics with a better record (so far, about 30
games into the season) than the Astros.
20 years ago it probably wouldn't have been a surprise.

The Athletics have slowed down, now at 22-33, but the Astros have only
barely edged ahead at 24-30. The Royals, on the other hand, have
definietly picked it up .... 34-21.

3 teams left with under 20 wins. At the other end, 3 teams past 35
wins.

We need Richard R. Hershberger to chime in on the first team ever to
get to 35 wins in a season.

The feelings have only to do with them being cheaters.
