All of our hitters sucked! Except for Killbots, I guess. And ATPL and Douchey were okay. And I guess WestsideTelecom. But everyone else needs to sit in the chair of shame and think about what they've done. On the pitching side, I am very pleased to finally have a random collection of numbers to call a true hero, and that is F1e3lix. Everything about that line is perfect, including the hilarious walk rate. The CCC also did pretty good with the throwsing.

I am sort of disappointed that nobody really had a hilariously bad week. You guys aren't even good at sucking. Go hit the showers.

This is a solid week! Good stuff on offense from Battlestar, Ham/Arbys, and Sluuut. Return of the ATPL had a .79 ERA! Okay, so we had three sub-2.00 ERAs this week, with a couple of other teams not far behind, but none of their components really screams amazing. I guess it's pretty awesome that Sluut had a 1.23 ERA with a balls in play average fairly close to normal. With so many super low ERAs, you might expect the league average to be pretty amazing, but you'd be wrong. THANKS Mauers, Ham/Arbys, and Killbots. I think I'm going to give myself the Most Hilarious Components Award™ this week.

Season totals!

The top-5 are still heavily pitching influenced. I wonder if this will equalize in the next 10 weeks or so. We'll find out when we tune in again next week (also the next nine weeks after that).

Good job dudes!

Week 13: June 28 - July 4

Ugh! This is some pretty sad offense. The Most Valuable Mauers and Ham/Arbys certainly "hammared" opposing pitchers (I wish Blogger had some sort of rimshot widget), but the rest of us kind of sucked it up. The CCC slugged .239! I think that gets the very consistently awarded Ouch™ Award this week.

WestsideTelecom and the ATPL put up some sharp ERAs supported by excellent ratios, but I think Douchey and the Clearance Sale Henchmen had some flashier numbers that are obscured by poor ball-in-play luck. Killbots!! Don't turn on yourself!
