Wow, guys, I think this might be the best combined week the league has had all year! Especially good batting by Killbots, Staaaars, Lirianos, Sam Zell, and the Wolfpack, and all but two people had solid pitching lines. Good job, team! Way to make it hard for someone trying to rise in the world.

Here is the whole cinnamon churro:

Team	BA	OBP	SLG	ERA	K/9	W/9	HR/9	BIPA

Okay, we have roughly 10 weeks to go. If there was ever a time for the front-runners to start slacking off for the benefit of overall league competition, now would be a good time.

Week 15: July 13-19

Nobody took advantage of the small sample size to delight and enthrall me on offense, although the Staaaaaar's .195/.307/.299 slashline is pretty cool. Last week's ERA leader, well, let's just say they might have gotten a little lucky with balls in play. The FBC put up quite a sparkly pitching line. I guess it's pretty cool that the whole league generated a 2.63 ERA, although overall I give our short-week efforts a C-.

Here is the whole carton of mexi-fries:

The Momma Js, Wolfpack, and Staaaaaars killed the ball, and nobody seemed to really suck it up. Hammarby, the FBC, and Barry ON TRIAL did some pretty good work on the pitching side, and nobody seemed to... OMFG! Is that an ERA of NINE?!?! Catching little gems like this makes this arduous weekly updating totally worth it.

Yep. It's still a pile of numbers arranged in a table. You're welcome.

Alright, time for the stupid no-stats-for-three-days All Star break. Hopefully the small sample size will make for some hilarious short-week shenanigans. You are all responsible for my amusement, so get to it.

Week 13: June 29-July 5

I think this might officially be half-way through the season. Oh how the leaves of time fall and wither before us, leaving only fading memories of our heroic fantasy baseball dominance. Such as:

Woah there, Connors! Save some meatballs for the rest of us! At least give some leftovers to poor CCC. In all of my long years of looking at weekly fantasy baseball stats and then promptly forgetting them, I don't think I've ever seen a line as tragic and sad and kind of hilarious as .189/.239/.292. Also, I don't really understand how the Wolfpack has an ERA at all. Thems black magic numbers.
