Â
The ‘Cuse followed up their move to the top with a 10-0 thrashing of the Chasers. The pitching categories were close, and the Chasers can feel hard done by that an ERA of 2.05 and a 1.20 WHIP weren’t enough to win those categories. Aaron Hill and, of course, Pujols were the big hitters for The Orange.

Â
Bonestalkers edged SWAT 6-5 thanks to their pitching staff. While SWAT’s hitters got the job done, Bonestalkers took five out of the six pitching categories, including very impressive ERA and WHIP numbers, helped by the trio of Lincecum, Sabathia and Beckett.

Â
A topsy-turvy matchup ended in a 6-6 tie between the Giants and my Isotopes. Strangely, Russ took all of the hitting categories while I won all of the pitching categories, despite a tie in holds, as Russ failed to meet the 20 ining weekly minimum limit, although I was already ahead in five of the categories. Sizemore was the star hitter for Russ, while I had very good weeks from Danks, Saunders and Hanson.

What a week for the Bats, who completed a 12-0 sweep against the Angels. The Bats had an excellent week from Ichiro, who hit .500 and scored 8 runs, while Burnett led the pitching staff. The Angels had nice weeks from Pierzynski and Derrek Lee, but it was a bad week for their pitchers.

Â
The Stuff picked up an 8-4 win over the Warfare thanks to a big week from their hitters. Hanley Ramirez drove in 15 runs all by himself, while A-Rod and Uggla also had very good weeks. Warfare’s pitchers salvaged some of the pitching stats, taking holds, ERA and WHIP.

Â
The Typos are back playing .500 ball after a 7-4 win over The Bangers. The Typos just did enough to take runs, HR and RBIs while ERA and WHIP also proved to be very close. Although hge didn’t hit for average, Ethier’s three-homer game helped the Typos, while Happ, Wainwright and Edwin Jackson pitched very well for The Bangers.

Â
The Gas edged The Whos 6-5 in a close matchup. In the end the pitching stats proved decisive, as Wakefield, Cook and Richmond helped the Gas take wins, ERA and WHIP.
Â
The results leave The ‘Cuse on top, stretching the lead to 6 games over SWAT. My Isotopes are 1/2 a game further back, closely followed by The Stuff and The Bats. Russ makes up the top six. The Typos, Chasers, Whos and Bonestalkers are bunched up very close together.
Â
This week sees The ‘Cuse take on my Isotopes, while SWAT take on the red-hot Bats.

Yersss! Come on you Bats! So that’s what a week without any fingernails bitten off feels like. Still, it can’t last, right?
The Chasers got a pounding, no two ways about it. Got to give credit to the Nationals though. Aaron Hill has been an inspired pick.
