I admit my Toronto Walrus squad was lucky to be holding an 8-4 lead over Billie's Bashers going into the final day of Week 4 action. My vaunted pitching staff lost Armas to the DL, and a few other guys were simply terrible (Baez had an 81.00 ERA). My hitters weren't much better, so I was going to be content with a split, but ended up on the short end of a 6-4 score.
That was enough to relinquish top spot in the standings. Snelville's Gashouse Gorillas (the only team to breathe that first-place air more than once) have a one game lead, and I'm tied with Jurgen's Baird Brain for second. Against the Jones boys this week, my team had better wake up or we'll get crushed.

Jonny sends his apologies; the weekly Roto stats will be unavailable for a couple of days because he's away on business. As you may have already noticed, we completed a trade of Orioles (Gibbons for Julio) before he left. That's an aspect of this league I'm enjoying -- lots of offers, and 12 deals so far, some of them controversial.
