And with that, we've reached the All-Star Break. No games tomorrow. We'll start at the top of everyone's rotations on Friday unless you request otherwise.

I want to change my rotation to

Maddux
Glavine
Niekro
Spahn

.

Stats are updated.

It's happening slowly, but I think I'm starting to believe a bit in the White Sox. Killer hitting from the 2-6 spots in the lineup, power bursts from Fisk at the back end, Dye hitting well off the bench, a rotation without a weak spot so far (led by Doc White and his seven Quality Starts in seven tries...I feel like an idiot now for dropping him at the last second for Jim Scott in the last tournament), and a bullpen that has been incredibly stable by whatif standards (especially the first guy out of the pen, Keith Foulke and his 1.00 ERA). This is a nice turnaround from the last tournament, when first base was a gaping hole in the lineup and Ed Cicotte (MOP-Pitcher runner-up) was the lone bright spot (for the most part) in a really disappointing staff.

The top three teams in the NL right now are the three franchises the White Sox have beaten in the World Series. Maybe it's an omen...

after the All Star break I want to replace Jim Kaat in my starting rotation with Frank Viola.

Rotation will be:
Walter Johnson
Johan Santana
Bert Blyleven
Frank Viola

Stats updated. At least I won two against the new guy.

jeezus, after climbing in the standings, my team is freefalling again

Stats updated.

It feels good to be up with the big boys at the All-Star break. Of the six contenders in the AL right now, five of them have been around since at least 1901.

Warren Spahn is my biggest surprise. He was spectacular in pre league simulations. Maybe my best starter.
