21.   So despite the fact that we did play better, this team is still struggling to get back in the win column and get things going our way.

22.   So I just started calling strangers from the phone book and breaking up with them, so I could put points back in the win column.

23.   That is, fill stadiums as much as the win column.

24.   The Astros are but two games behind San Diego in the win column.

25.   The Dodgers could point to either April, May, June or September in assessing where they might have bolstered the win column.

26.   The Kings are only two points off the pace but four behind in the wins column, the first tie-breaker to determine a playoff berth.

27.   The only numbers that count at this point, however, are in the win column, and the Matadors still need two.

28.   The Patriots broke into the win column Sunday night by flawlessly executing that game plan.

29.   The Seahawks returned to the Kingdome on Sunday, but not the win column.

30.   The win column is a lot better.
