What a July it has been. Pittsburgh and Boston, the two clubs who were on top of the world in the first half of the season have fallen all the way to 4th place in their respective leagues.
The two Chicago clubs, the Whales and the Orphans, have taken first place and are now in control heading into the final third of the campaign.
