Where did the sun go (and why does my grass still grow?)

This week’s music: Bad Company by Bad Company (rocks, I know)
                                   I’ll take requests if you have them

My Take: Nick asked for some in depth analysis and I am primarily focused on my team so here’s what I noticed. My team is doing just enough to get by, nothing more nothing less. One bad week, and I’m sure I’ll lose first.(Please stop cheering, it’s rude)

Stevie Strasburg apparently fired up Nick’s pitching staff because they seemed to improve across all pitching stats except ERA. Speaking of ERA, Dad is the new ERA leader, first time this season someone other than Nick has lead that category.

Batting stats are tight, runs, RBI’s, and HR’s are close for everybody and it seems like everyone is managing to keep pace.
