Welcome…
...to Daigo’s Daily Digital Diorama. This is utterly useless online journal (yes, that was what it was originally called before term "blog") that I've been keeping since 2002. Since it is ".org," my wife once called it a nonprofit nonsense. I use this blog mostly about baseball, and being Japanese man in America. Wondering who the heck Daigo is?

Calculating Pythagorean winning percentage for 2008
I had this kinda crazy idea of doing pythagorean flash calculator of Red Sox, Yankes and Rays for boston.com. According pythagorean expectation, a baseball team’s winning percentage is 1 divided by 1 plus runs allowed divided by runs scored square.
but for it to make sense, the 2008 numbers has to come pretty close to the actual numbers. So here is your 2008 numbers.
Well, it doesn’t work. Especially AL East comes out Red Sox, Blue Jays, Rays, Yanks then Orioles. It is completely off. That would make the whole calculator worthless…. Oh, well. It was interesting idea anyways.
Here is 2007, for just a fun of it.
