Hopefully the Mets will get one tonight or tomorrow.
It would be unreal to witness a system loss fading San Diego. I will admit though that Pittsburgh's a mess lately and San Diego is on a kind of upswing.

Also, I managed to go through the September system losses, back to 2006, and here are the results:
>> 2010 (2 losses in September, 8 total in 2010)
fade Ch Cubs
tail Oakland
>> 2009 (2 losses out of 4 total)
fade Oakland
tail Atlanta
>> 2008 (2 losses out of 8 total)
tail Baltimore
tail Pittsburgh
>> 2007 (1 loss out of 3 total; yes, there were only 3 losses in 2007)
fade Philadelphia
>> 2006 (1 loss, but I haven't checked 2006 for total losses)
fade LA Angels
So, over the last five years, the September losses amount to roughly 25% of all system losses (and there had always been at least one loss in September during that span).
It doesn't seem too scary actually and it obviously does have a lot to do with the fact that teams get extremely streaky nearing the end of the regular season. I will be playing the system games as usual, maybe lowering the unit size just a bit. I'll also be posting the updates until we're left with six games before the end of the regular season.
