In Season 10 in particular, when the Forecast: Birds decree from the Season 9 came into effect and resulted in 34 games in Birds weather for the Pies, they won 28 of these games (accounting for over half of their 54 wins in the Season 10 regular season). The Pies had six separate seasons throughout the Expansion Era where they won[1] 100% of their regular season Birds weather games.
