In parallel with the actual Raccoons right now, the current-season PT Raccoons are a frustrating bunch. They punch WAY above their assumed weight (84-49!) and yet will still find themselves in a wild card scenario because they're 12 games out in the division.

As of now, their opposition would be a losing team.

Boy, do I see that one not going well!

We're 8th (of 30) in runs scored and runs allowed and the offense is consistently goodish in all categories, except base stealing (frowns). The pen remains weak, but I have mostly resigned emotionally on that. That SE Trevor Hoffman would help, but as long as gold Tony Gwynn cards go for 8k, and the diamonds for it for 20k, that's not gonna happen any time soon.

Mel Ott is having a random bad year, but we have four position players (including the fake position) that are producing an OPS better than .800, which is sweet: Dan Brouthers, Frank Thomas, Jeff McNeil, and Brooks Robinson.

And yet, we're gonna play a losing team in the wild card round, and I'm almost sure I know how that's gonna end.
