Head hunters???
I was looking at the team stats on MLB site and noted that BoSox pitchers have the most (43) HBP yet 3rd lowest BB total in majors. By compare a few teams are still in the mid-teens for HBP. Looks like they are only wild when they want to be. Hum ...

Nats wins ... not!
Even when the Nats win, a Nat can't get the win! Nats had already traded away pitcher that gets the win for the suspended game. That has to be rare to get a Win for a team you are no longer on. Too bad Phils did not play, he could have gotten a win for two diff...

All star???
Why did Inge need to be voted in at the last second if Granderson already was on the team? Inge has higher avg, OBP and SLG? I would have thought that being a 3B would take lower stats than an OF.

What a Week!
It's been a rather nice past week. Anytime you come out on top of this group of guys one should feel good.
Being gone for the two days (just one night) kinda broke up the fantasy week for me as I missed out on the OGBL scores for both Friday and Saturday. I had the...

The Final Season
I had a movie recorded on the DVR for a couple weeks, today I finally got to watching it and I must say it was well worth the time spent.
A Baseball movie about a small town High School Baseball team from Norway, Iowa. It's a true story filmed in 2007.

Upton and Rollins
Why does Tampa & Philly continue to lead-off with Upton & Rollins and their .288 & .260 OBP? Note that is OBP not AVG! I understand you don't want to mess with your line-up just because a vet is off to a slow start, but at 170+ ABs, isn't it time to address this?

Thin difference so far
Nats have a better ERA than NYY but have scored 14 less runs. When you take into account the DH, that is a very thin difference but NYY is 17-17 and Nats are 11-21. Money must by Mojo in addition to talent.

OGBL After 5 Weeks
We're now at the 5 week mark, meaning 25% of the regular season is done. That is the case with weeks, but not with games played.
So far each team has played a total of 17 games. With an 84 game schedule it comes to 67 games still remaining. That's plenty of games l...

Was - Hou
After reading Hero's post, I think we will be treated as H2H and the stats from the first 11 innings count toward the original week. No pitcher gets a W or S but otherwise normal game. The stats for the 7/9 completion will not count toward either week.

Suspended game follow up
Jimi, I agree, the ruling was vague. My take on it is they decided it's done and the existing stats DO count, especially since it's a tie and all new stats have little or no bearing on what has taken place so far. If Oswalt could have gone an extra inning and it wa...

8 Day Week
When going to your team on the CBS League Home, please beware that the schedule they're showing does NOT show Sunday, April 12th. It's only designed for seven days.
So when looking for 2X SPs, remember that alot of them will be getting that 2nd start on the 12th.

Did you ever notice that every year some teams decide on their needs and go out and get them? Doesn't matter if their budget is high or low. On the other hand, some teams just seem to sit around and take whoever falls in their lap when the dust settles.
