Making it to the Big Dance

Canberra:  DNP, (-2) – (-1).  The Mets dos-i-doed with the Nationals in the NL East, depriving the ‘Roos of a game. They still square dance at middle-school dances, don’t they?

Old Detroit:  W 1, L 1; 13 – 13.  The Commissioner missed the AL East while updating the standings for last night’s pro-forma update, so the W’s and the Tornadoes had to play two yesterday.  Jurickson Profar made his 2016 debut! But not even the W’s noticed he’d made the big dance until reviewing stats this morning.

Haviland: W 2, L (-1); 8 – 3. Here come the Dragons, trying to cut in on the first-place dance-off.

Portland: W, 11 – 4.

Pittsburgh: W, 8 – 5.

Flint Hill:  W 1, L 1; 8 – 11.   These three keep dancing around in the 4 – 6 spots.  They’re doing some kind of a weave.  All the girls like them, kind of like Sam.

Peshastin:  W,  3 – 3.

Kaline: w, 5 – 7.

Cottage: “L”, 5 – 3.  These three COULD be dancing, but instead they just seem to be standing off to the side, drinking punch and talking among themselves.   Ben would hang out with them, probably.

D.C.: W 1, L (-1); (-5) – (-9).  There is a little glitch in the DC standings — you can see the evidence in the NL East section.  I originally updated having credited DC with its entire season stats — until I noticed it gave them 4 wins and (-4) losses!  That seemed … improbable.  So I went back and fixed it, hand-entering the new data for the Balk.  Unfortunately, while the Balk earned a win, it still left them behind the Braves, but I didn’t want to spend the time to hand-repair things.  So — while the Balk briefly were in the spotlight for winning a prize for best dancing, it turns out the MC gave the prize to the wrong person.  But you are still a winner in our eyes, D.C.!
