Hmmmm.

[Andrew]

Matched our win total of 47 from last year and haven't won since. Not surprised this team is just as bad as last year.

[Delandis]

Hmmmm.

I agree.

[Dave]

SULLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

[Delandis]

6-0 and now only 1.5 games behind Washington for the IL wildcard. We passed Cali in the standings and we've even closed Batavia's Porter lead to single digits.

Rookie starter, Jimmy Whitworth is 4-0 in 4 starts and as much as I'd like to attribute this recent run of results to the addition of Kiefer, the real story has been Hamilton and Whitworth. Hamilton has been swinging the bat at an MVP level, while Whitworth has brought some real stability to the rotation.

I'm sure we are getting too hot, too early but I'll take it either way.

[Sully]

SULLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

We are horrible on the road. I can't complain, though. We have 50 games left, and are still above .500. We were awful and hopeless at the end of last season.

Reeves has been amazing at AAA. He might get a couple starts in the BLB before this season is over with.

We get to 80 wins on a 5-1 week. Manhos throws his second straight CG a 4 hit shutout. He's now 5-0 in 7 starts with a 1.21 ERA and 0.68 WHIP. Tommy Poe gets another win and is now 5-1 since the trade with an ERA of 3.06. Tex Watts climbs to #15 on the Top Players List. We now have 7 players with double digit homers and 8 players with 40+ RBIs.

Good to see The Bounce is alive and well.

[Carlos]

These 4-2 weeks aren't helping any.

J.McP (yes, that's what we're calling him here in Denver. We have nothing to look forward to so give us this) went to AAA and unleashed his fury. He collected more VORP in 6 games than he did in a month in AA. He'll be a New Brew contender next season.

Verba on the other hand was a mess in AA.

Savvy GMing.

[BradZ]

Shit, sorry about the utilities guys. Seems the files didn't transfer when I uploaded them this morning. The utility will be out of sync until I get home (or if Matt sees this you can run the utility dump if you get a chance before then).

Just realized it when I was trying to take a look and see how we did this week.

[Jistic]

If we play Batavia in a 2/3 seed matchup it will be a war. The Porter is playing us great in general this year, which is funny because we took a giant dump on it last year. The stout? That's a different story.

Im really proud of Diego Flores. After winning the starting catchers job from Kelch, the return of Hamilton and Alvarez pickup has relegated him back to the bench. He hasn't complained and in fact happy to take the bench. Gotta love team first guys.

[Z]

5-1 week against the Ale. I like it.

Pawtucket had a 6-0 week against the Ale. I don't like it.
