Once again, you are relying on anomalies rather than the law of averages.

If you win 60% of your games, you will most likely win 3/5, regardless of whether you are 1 back in the L column or 10 ahead.

No fucking kidding!

I gave you a scenario...where would you rather be?

That's why the loss column is more important, in baseball, than the win column. The Cardinals are 7 losses back...say they are 6 back or 7 losses back, what's the difference? Rabbidicksucker is just trying to find a reason for you and him to have a suckfest with one another...

So the loss column is insignificant and it's the only thing that matters?



God, you're dumb. Do you ever get tired of constantly contradicting yourself.

I gave you a scenario...

Cubs: 100-62
Cardinals: 97-60

which one would you choose? Would you keep it that way, or would you swap? Or are you not going to answer? Or are you going to give me the 'law of averages' bullshit...

If law of averages held true in baseball, when it mattered, the Cardinals would've been swept a few years ago rather than winning the worst World Series I've ever seen.

It's statistically insignificant which one I choose, though, as you've presented a classic gambler's fallacy.

!

As a fan, as a FAN of a team...you'd choose to have your team choose their destiny...any fan would...without a doubt...take the 97 win team. 100 times out of 100.

You can't answer because you know that, when it comes down to it, and everyone is figuring out who needs to win what to get into the postseason...the loss column becomes more important than the games back column.

You all play the same number of games and there are no ties. It means nothing.

Why are you trying to put a spin on the scenario? It's stupid...

If you had a choice between the two, you'd take the 97 wins and choose your own destiny...you know it, I know it, it's common sense.
