STANDINGS
24-12, #1 in the AL, 1.5 games ahead of NYY, 8-5

BAD NEWS
-Pitching... Ulrich (5.91), Faulkner (5.04), Andrew (4.63), George (5.40), Patterson (4.50), Wyman (6.75)... its amazing we had a winning record the last couple of weeks with numbers like that.
-Coleman is still struggling with 1B in AAA. We would like to have his bat back as we are running with too little depth right now.
-Swept by KC... they are back and will challenge for the AL title.

GOOD NEWS
-On 5/2 Ray Kress was named Player of the Week for hitting .600, 5HR, 10RBI.
-Hitting... Meacham (.625, 3HR), Mitchell (.432, 4HR), Ulrich (.375), Kreitenberg (.364), Kress (.341, 4HR), Castaneda (.333)
-Went 2-1 in NY. Not too shabby.
