I came out on top with 970. But how can I have TWO shutouts and still not break 1000? Pathetic. Columbus had the worst week. Bru is falling back. He is 380 back with less than a month and a half to go. He has a shot but ... This isn't 1968 and ESPN's show isn't called 'The Brunx is burning'. So that leaves us with 5. They are withing 270 points. Not insurmountable. Although Ozzie is going to have to pick up the pace or he will be the next one mercilessly tossed out of the party.
Bats for the week were pretty steady. Movement at this point will be minimal. I think Mud won this award with an advance of .03. Wow. His HUGE jump propelled him into first place over Evil. Those two are a full .1 over Ozzie and He is almost a full .1 over Sonic. They are significantly ahead of us.
I have taken the lead on 'arms'. In fact my two shutouts spiked my line up .35. By far the biggest gain. While we were generally up, only Sonic and I had any significant gain. I have decided that we should give awards for leading a particular stat. Maybe the 'Hitting Instructor' award for who has the highest 'slot' number and um.. 'Pitching Coach' for the guy who takes the 'Start' category. I would take great satisfaction in winning the 'Start'. My 'rotation' has almost completely turned over from last year. Burnett and Webb are the only two starters I had last year. O wait, I had Pettitte too. Putz was on there as well. So I had a turnover of 66%
I got Buchholz today!!!! Now he hasn't been as great this year but earlier I was looking over where I was in the waiver wire and who might be coming up this year that I would have a chance of getting. Buchholz was the guy I had my sights set on (is that sites or sights?). I ended up being at #2 but Mud didn't put a claim in. yay. Looks like he had a decent outing today.
Well we are getting close to the end. Five guys still in the hunt. Will Mud just continue to cruise along keeping us all at bay? Or will a dark horse shoot out of the pack and surprise us all. Man every start is crucial. Every points gained or lost because they were sitting on your bench is a tragedy. (I bet Mudville has lost more points on his bench than the next three combined). These are the times when good luck charms are tossed aside for desperate and fervent prayer!
P.S. Drop a line. I always intended for these posts to be the instigation for conversation. This wasn't intended to be a one man show. Talk smack. Commiserate. Make bold predictions. Just say something!

Well we are getting down to the wire. I boldly predict that Clemens will not carry Mudville to the title. A dark horse will rise out of the mists !!! It will be either Congregationals or the Death Monkees that will pull it out on the final day !!!! While Mudville slides to 3rd!!!!
Ha, I want whatever Gary is on-or maybe I don't!? Don't count the Ozz out just yet. I'm looking at GameChannel(9:57pm)and I just leap-frogged Monkees and Evil and the Wizzards are now in third! I've been watching Webb completely master the Braves. 42 straight scoreless innings!!!! WOW-not bad to have on your fantasy team right now when you are in the hunt for the title. It is definetely still open for the taking, although it seems Mud has dominated most of the year, Congregationals are only fifty points back as of now. I know what mean about the points sitting on the bench thing. This year has been rough for me in picking my batting lineup. I have left so many points on the bench I could cry-I just did...I feel better...not really...I just cried again :(
Lol.
If I actually end up winning this year, I will it completely to Webb and this streak. Three shutouts in a row!!!! I feel like I won the fantasy lottery. I remember trading Abreu for Webb... and I didn't even offer it.
Even though I had a great night my lack of attention cost me two slots. sigh.
Screw all of you! I went to bed early last night and was happily in 1st enjoying over a hundred point lead. Flash to this morning, where from my morning stupor I awoke to the smell of applejuice-urnine wafting down the hall and the stench of my perfomance from last nights fantasy effort.
"I came through and I shall return." Douglas MacArthur (avid fantasy bb pioneer) Behind the Ricket er Rocket I'll ride back to first!
-Mud
It is more of a case of me just keeping your seat warm.
So if you are MacArthur, does that make me the Death March Japs? um. I cannot think of anything clever to say to that.
