I don't follow MLB as closely as NBA & MLB, so I'm curious that if in most years, teams at the top of the list in runs scored generally have better than a .500 or less record?

It's an easy answer, you win too many 10-2 type games, but lose more 2-1 type games.
Going to baseball-reference right now, for game results to back this post up.

Rays are getting tighter.....keep the faith

For the season their scoring margin is 5.6 to 4.7

But over the past 26 games, the margin is 6.0 to 4.2

They're 15-11 in those 26 games

The manager is completely lost at times.......and over manages way to much.

Other then JOE TORRE early on in his mangerial career, I've never witnessed a worse manager at the major league level.

Burrell has just returned to lineup and Bartlett is due next week.

The former hopefully adds more RBI punch and the latter further tightens up the defense, which even though we've been missing JB and Aki is still the AL's best.

yeah yeah....(smile)....we know you're not Joe M's biggest fan

But guess what? Per my last post, over the past four weeks their pitching is back in the Top10 and unlike last season's 22nd ranked offense, they're #1 in MLB

Maddon is masterful at getting his full roster into play and that's why he gets guys to play above their expected levels.

Wait until Kazmir gets back and watch 'em make the shove back for first in the AL East

FISH, you gonna set a Season Win Total for Rays and offer me a friendly local wager?

Yanks have 95 HR's and that's with their big A-Roid bat out most of the year and replaced by a little leaguer playing 3rd base.

Sick.
