Best offenses in team history, OPS+

3. 1998 — 107
4. 1996 — 106

Thanks to G.Y for the special space to express ourselves. It's nice to that he has maintained a forum like this --a pure baseball forum with standards so that it doesn't go down the drain like so many others. Pretty darn 'high brow' I would say.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-219602">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> As they say in Texas, “Good night Y’all”.

They are currently 1.5 games up on the Nationals and 0.5 on the Mariners. The Khalil injury really helped but it might take 10 starts from Tomko and Estes to clinch it.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-219592">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> #84@JP: I don’t care how they do it, as long as they finish with the worst record in baseball.
