ravinhood, if you honestly want to criticize the realism, don't do it on 1 SIM of the 2009 season, or even 2. Do 1000, or better yet 10,000. Then come back and tell us what you found.
To criticize based on a single run of the random number generator shows a shocking ignorance of basic statictical theory.
Having said all that, I sure wish my sim had the Mariners doing so well.
