Wow, two wins last night gave me 2.5 points. And Meche didn’t get blasted too badly. (3 runs in 6 innings)

For the week my OF and Cs seem to be producing. The Infield had an off week, except for Tino. 4HR, that’s a lot.

For Pitching, Millwood and Chacin seemed to have off weeks. Unfortunately, Meche’s week wasn’t too off for him. Kenny Rogers had a very good week, with 2 wins and a 0.00 ERA. Not too shabby on the Ks and the WHIP either. And, of course, my Chicago Relief committee got 3 Saves with a 0.00 ERA.

An interesting week. I ended up with 81.5 points, even after losing a point in the SB race. I really didn’t think anyone would catch me, but with 13 SB in a week, the Rangers did. They have a total of 40 to my 39.

K 41 LA 38.4 PTS 10:
ERA 2.66; LAA 3.53; PTS 8:
WHIP 1.28; LAA 1.22; PTS 8:

Pitching surprised me this week. 3 wins in 8 starts and 3 SAVES. I certainly wasn’t expecting the saves. For week 6, I have 10 projected starts with 9 possible Win situations. It is very rare that all my pitchers win all their starts in a given week, but when they start against each other I don’t plan on it at all.

This report looks almost Legible. I still need to find a way to copy formated text into Word Press and keep the tabs in place.

The first line for each player list the Full Season-Active Status Stats. the second Line lists the Stats for the Week so far. Players that I have dropped, like Lee and Speier, are listed at the bottom of their respective catagories with a record of what they contributed while on my roster.

As you can see Ken Harvey’s stats separate the FS stats from the AS stats since he had a few at bats before I reactivated him last Monday, and those stats don’t count toward the teams cumulative totals. (Although looking at Ken’s numbers makes me wonder why I was in such a rush to bring him back.)

Just looked at the projected pitchers. Lohse is projected for Saturday, but not for any starts in the following week. I wonder what that means?

I see Johnson is scheduled for a Monday and Sunday start. That seems like a bit of a gap between starts. I have two other pitchers projected to start on Monday (one going against Johnson) that also repeat on Sunday. Must be the way the schedule sets up.

Hmmm. This can’t go on.

Daily notes on your players from rototimes.com: 05.03: The Yankees announced that Randy Johnson will miss his scheduled start against the Devil Rays on Wednesday night because of stiffness in his left groin, according to the AP. GM Brian Cashman indicated that the injury might actually land Johnson on the DL

We shall see if we remember this as our high water mark- 81.5 points out of 100.

Here is another perspective of the stats. This one actually has all the info I’ve been tracking this season, it’s just so un-understandable that I can’t figure it out. It does look a lot better aligned.

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.

A quick run through the numbers:

HR 5; LA 6.8; Pts 5:
R 34; LA 32.1; Pts 10 :
RBI 23; LA 30.3;Pts 10:
AVG 0.280; LAA .264; Pts 9:

K 42; LA 43.4; Pts 10:
ERA 2.73; LAA 4.16; Pts 7:
WHIP 1.15; LAA 1.33; Pts 8:

Randy Johnson pitched a complete game, 9 innings; got 9 Ks; gave up only 2 runs (both earned); and took the loss. The vaunted New York Yankees couldn’t even score 1 run in support of Johnson’s effort. This is what makes pitchers so frustrating.

My Chicago reliefers pitched 3 innings of good scoreless baseball, the White Sox lost when the rest of the relief committee failed in extra innings.

So, I had good pitching tonight, just not the optimal results. No Wins, No Saves, good Ks, good ERA, good Ratio. The hitters thought it was early April. 38 At Bats/5 hits/.132 AVG.

Good Night.
