9/1/1904 - Slipping back into first
A 15-12 month put us back into first place with a narrow 2 1/2 game lead. The Browns rank second in the league in runs scored, second in the league in runs allowed, and we are second in defensive efficiency. I guess it all works out in the end to a pretty well rounded team.
Newcomer Jim Clancy has gone 2-4 since he arrived, and has suffered a big performance dip. Jerry Mumphrey has hit .308 since being traded. It's early to evaluate the trade, but the early returns aren't favorable. I guess if we can pull off the division, and somehow win the World Series it would be worth it. With the expanded rosters we'll be taking advantage of that and calling up some reinforcements. September will be a big month for the Browns.
