The top four teams in the Batter's Box Fantasy league had close matchups last week. First-place Gashouse Gorillas and second-place Billie's Bashers battled to a 6-6 tie, and after leading Baird Brain all week, my Toronto Walrus went to the Carl Pavano well once too often, coughing up three pitching categories on Sunday to lose 6-5. Ouch.
There's a virtual three-way tie for second, with AGF, 8-4 winners last week, moving into a closer fifth. Red Mosquitos stung Chatsworth Halos 11-1 to make the biggest gain in the standings, and Nation Builders climbed back over .500 with a 10-2 romp over the slumping Springfield Isotopes. Here's how it looks after 9 of 22 weeks:
# Team W-L-T Win % GBI'm looking forward to facing Jordan's team this week, but am too worried about my once-solid pitching to make any rash predictions.
