Two broke the 1000 point barrier this week. Bru Cru and SDM. Bru is making a bid to seperate himself from the second tier and challenge the top. Harang had an awesome week for the Cru. I am just realizing how hard it is to have back to back dominating weeks. Obviously, if your 'aces' start twice in one week, the next week they will only start once. So good weeks are doable but I would really be surprised to see someone break the 1100 barrier twice in a row.

This is the second week in a row that offensive production has jumped up. EVERYONE was up this week. I'm trying to think of a reason other than just better production that would cause it. Something in the numbers. But there is nothing there. We are just getting better. Mudville is really climbing. Posting the best number (7.62) of the year!

I did the pitching stat wrong last week. I divided the total pitching amount by 9. There is no logical reason for that number. The number should be 12. Twelve for the number of pitchers on any given roster. Of course the relievers do not have 'starts' but we can lump their number in there just to give us a relatively close number. We COULD go in and subtract all RP numbers and then divide by 10, but that is way too much work. This number will be good enough. And the adjustment brings the results down to where you would expect them.

Only thing we will notice about the pitching is that we have a new leader. Me. This delights me because I have no chance unless my pitchers give it to me. That sounds really dicey when pitching consistency is the ultimate. I hope I haven't peaked too soon.

Banana had his second brutal week in a row. It is like in Cinderella when the step sister puts on the glass slipper and it fits... only to find out that only here toe is in the shoe. Banana looked like the one team in the pack that could really surge ahead. He is still not out of it but fading.

Mudville and I stayed neck and neck while not distancing ourselves from the pack. Bru made a move and is kind of in between the pack and the leaders. This race is still pretty tight.
