An 11-1 rout of the slumping Nation Builders propelled Snellville Jones' Gashouse Gorillas to a 5 1/2 game lead after six weeks in the Batter's Box Fantasy League. Springfield Isotopes and my Toronto Walrus are tied for second, a half-game ahead of Baird Brain. All of us are rooting for Spicol's Red Mosquitos, back over .500 after a 7-3 win, to bite the Gorillas this week.
The Moscow Rats climbed from 18th to 11th place with a 12-0 whitewash of Garces_not_on_roids, who tumbled from 14th to 19th with the crushing defeat. The 11-1 loss for Nation Builders dropped them from 7th last week all the way to 15th. We've talked a lot about the volatility of Head-to-Head compared to Roto, and it's never been more evident. Here's the standings: # Team Name W-L-T Win % GB
The old bull Walrus dodged another bullet on Sunday, as Mike M.'s Reykjavik Fish Candy had an off day. Mike still won the matchup 6-5, but I had been trailing 9-3 most of the week and closed to 8-4 on Saturday, so the final score was a relief. While my first-rounder is playing like the "wrong" Giambi, I'm just hoping to keep my head above water. If anyone needs a C upgrade, I'd trade Dan Wilson (292/338/403) for a fifth starter or decent middle reliever.
