Thank you, once again, Clay.

I have concluded that I'm in the wrong division.

Interesting note:

7 of the top 9 vote-getters among DL SP and 3 of the top 5 among DL RP currently reside in the Lager.

Hartford beat us down. Expected.

Took 2 of 3 from Pittsburgh. I'm cool with that.

A 2-4 week sounds horrible, but I know we aren't at Hartford's level. More important to me to beat the teams at our level and get better.

Though Kel Brown didn't exactly kill the ball (he did drive in 4 runs over the week), the offense seemed to respond to his inclusion. Hit well as a team.

Unfortunately, our three best pitchers (Olivo, Gerard and Soto) each got smoked in their starts. All losses.

Inconsistency is the name of the game in Denver. If only both sides of the field can just work at the same time.

Poor Liquid.

Poor Liquid.

That truly sucks.

4-2 week. Kel Brown is gone. We didn't skip a beat. The bats were looking good. Barnes was back to normal and Simmons took to the #3 spot like it was his. Torres and Tucker(probably AS snubs) were both electric with Tucker pitching a CG. Evil Ways continues his "slump" losing a game against Pawtucket. We lost that series, that makes me angry...

[Delandis]

A very frustrating 3-3 week. We blew a 5 run lead and a 3 run lead only to lose in extra innings in both games. Sanchez pitched another good game and has been playing pretty well this year. Pretty sure I didn't overpay there. Also, Kubota has gotten hurt yet again, and will probably miss the rest of the regular season. Looks like I gambled wrong on his extension. Oh well, I'm pretty sure I overpaid there.

[Gyrodork]

I guess 4 - 2 just isn't going to cut it in the Lager this season. Cavadas obviously needs some extra BP. Or maybe a week off.

[Pat]

2-4 sim. Uh oh.

[Spectre]

Swept Pittsburgh and took 2/3 from Syracuse. When Bowen comes back in 2 weeks, the offense will be ready to roll. Looking forward to the second half of the year.

On a related note, Campbell went off in his first week hitting 3 HR.

6/29/98 -- Happy 39th Birthday to "Mr Colonial" Danny Nelson!!!

Back to our awesome 1 run losses. One more sim til our 2b comes back. Team just finished a 10 game losing streak. Either we're getting it out of the way and will bounce back or were finding our level. Still .500 would be a huge success for us this year. Art Yeandle continues to play at an all star level this year, too bad he's behind Rex in the IL though. Either way he's finally living up to his potential.

Hai-feng Goei who's been sitting on the trade block with no interest is now 9-2 having his best season ever.
