I swear I'll eventually get around to posting all of my stats, but here are two things that are killing my team:
Roger Clemens has a 9.72 ERA. I really thought I would have a chance to contend because of Halladay and Clemens (considering I have his best season, too) at the top. Halladay has been decent. Clemens has been hammered pretty much every time out.
Jose Bautista has a .630 OPS. I knew I had some weaknesses in my lineup, but I thought the top 4-5 spots would be outstanding. I actually have two regulars who have been worse than that, but I didn't expect a ton out of Gruber and Whitt.

Already swept the Cards, so if we can sweep the Sox as well I'll consider this season a success. True Cubbies attitude.

Clemens has been awful for the Astros as well.

How are you compiling BABIP against for pitchers? Are you going into the play by play log to see which pitcher gave up the SFs in each game?

Fun fact...
Avila, David Robertson and Tommy Hunter were all on the same college (Alabama) team.

Are we definitely making it a 60 game regular season or are we sticking with 30?

I thought we made it 60 game season with 6 teams in the playoffs.
