A Rabbit's Foot, Four-Leaf Clover, Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow concoction of luck
>> Thursday
My friends: Your 2007 Arizona Diamondbacks. Actual record 63-51, Pythagorean Record 53-61. This is NC State over Houston in 1983, Villanova over Georgetown in 1985, 1969 Mets over Orioles, Buffalo Bills overcoming a 34-3 deficit to the Houston Oilers in the 1993 Wild Card game type of flukish luck.

Forget all that lucky stuff. These guys obviously have the intangibles needed to stay in the race. If you want to judge teams by their Pythagorean win-loss record, then your precious 2005 White Sox don't even make the playoffs that year let alone win the World Series.
I have admitted that 2005 Sox had a lot of luck in winning the World Series that year. However, there's a big difference between a team that should have won 91 games winning W/S and a team who should be fighting for last place leading a division where they're the fourth best team.
