Just to give you an idea of the extent of the problem and the type of lopsided scores the mercy rule prevents, check out the Detroit PSL scores from two weeks last season, when the mercy rule was taken away:

How would you like to be on the losing end of any of these:
98-34, 76-14, 99-58, 96-17, 80-8, 100-34, 74-28, 81-14, 85-25, 62-17, 96-20, 99-24 and 74-27.
These were league games, and the teams all had to meet again later in the season.
