Just looked at the MLB standings. Hadn't realized the Mets surpassed the NLWest teams to become #1 overall. It's still very early and the Mets will find a way to fuck it up.The Guardians were top of the AL for a minute there, but it looks like we've dropped back a bit recently.

This involves credentials with fees due. It's a twist in the business logic that was completely overlooked in five years of analysis and discovery, until 3pm yesterday. Go figger. We had to solve it overnight. Fortunately, I have really good people.
