Doesn’t quite capture the neatly aligned columns of a properly formated page, but I don’t know how to keep that format in WordPress. I found this info on our Stat Site. Makes it easier to copy the standings. As may be seen, I am in first place, at least this week. (The +/- number is the variation in total points since last Monday. )

I had 4 Wins in 8 starts last week. That seems to be the average for my team. This week I will have 8 starts with 6 pitchers. Looks like Lohse has a sore shoulder and is day-to-day. Another way of saying “We would put him on the Disabled List, but we think he will be OK in less than 15 days.” So, they leave me hanging with a pitcher that won’t pitch and no chance to replace him.

Not that there is a pitcher in the Free Agent Pool to replace him with. (except maybe Speier?) The Player Notes say that he will practice light pitching today and if it goes OK he may start next Saturday and, if not, then he goes on DL tomorrow. Of course, our league only replaces players on Mondays, before noon, so I can wait a whole week to get a new player. Some teams are just so inconsiderate of the Fantasy League owners.
