BBFL Week 1: Four Way Tie

It's no surprise to see Billie's Bashers and gashouse gorillas atop the early leaderboard in what is now called the Alomar Division of the BBFL, but they have company. Chatsworth Halos and hannibal's cannibals share top spot after the first long "week" of head-to-head play. Our defending champion, the renamed Austin Senators, stumbled out of the gate, much like the real Jays, Phillies and Mariners. It is, of course, a long season, and these early results don't mean much.

Here are the Week 1 standings:

13 Reykjavik Fish Candy    4-7-1    .375    5.5
13 SABR Magicians          4-7-1    .375    5.5
15 Red Mosquitos           4-8-0    .333    6
16 Springfield Isotopes    3-9-0    .250    7
17 Jick’s Rays             2-10-0   .167    8
17 Garces_not_on_roids     2-10-0   .167    8
17 Eastern Shore Birds     2-10-0   .167    8
17 Austin Senators         1-9-2    .167    8

I'm content with the narrowest of wins, after my Walrus trailed the Rats all week. My big boppers started slowly; that was no surprise for Jim Thome, who traditionally takes a while to find the groove and this year, missed most of spring training. LVP Carlos Delgado's .130 .259 .391 line hurts on two fronts -- as a Jays fan, and as his owner. My pitching was better; MVP Curt Schilling's 17.00 K/BB led to a 4.64 mark for the week in that category, which will usually earn a guy a point.

Barfield and Leftovers GMs, I can't post the standings, but this thread is for you too. Maybe more trash will be talked in those leagues; we've been exceedingly polite since the start.
