Can I just mention that it’s Monday night and it rained?? With thunder and lightning, no less.

Also, I should mention for those of you who are paying attention (and who exactly is that, by the way?) that my fantasy baseball team, the Scottish Bugs, completed its first trade this past Sunday. Silvestre’s Team received Atlanta OF J.D. Drew and Chicago White Sox SP Scott Schoeneweis in exchange for RP Troy Percival of the Anaheim Angels. Arthur Rhodes has been disappointing so far and Jorge Julio isn’t on a good enough team to rack up the saves consistently so I needed some help in that department. Hopefully this’ll do it.

We had a pretty mediocre week again, going 5-4-1. This is a tough part of the schedule for the Bugs. As the #5 (of twelve) team in the league we’ve played over the last three weeks the #2, #4 and #1 teams, respectively. This week we play the #3 team, Juiced Team Heros (which is, by the way, Elliott’s team). Statistically, last week went very well. We led the league in five categories (runs, HR, RBI, AVG, strikeouts) and came in second in another (wins). It just so happens that the team we played - Scuffed Balls, the best team in the league - beat us in the other four categories and tied us for the league lead in homeruns (10). And that leads to a lackluster 5-4-1 record for the week. Hopefully I’ll get some wins back against Elliott this week (whose team mine would’ve gone 8-1-1 against last week).
