The bad news: The Beltways are 8-11 and in last place.

The good news: The division leaders are 10-8 so we are just 2 1/2 games out of first in what at first glance appears to be a weak division.

Garland Braxton has been our best pitcher this month, although Hoyt Wilhelm has done well also. Jim Johnson did not shape up, so he has been shipped out as promised with Dick Donovan joining the staff and taking over the setup role.

1921 Babe Ruth is now on notice. Fortunately (for him, unfortunately for me) he has no obvious replacement in the starting rotation. But if 95 Camilo Pascual comes available at a decent price, watch out, Bambino!

Also upset with Ken Singleton's performance, I have done some reshuffling. Singleton is out, Frank Robinson moves to RF, Jim Gentile moves to LF (he's not a LF, let's hope he can train to be one), George Sisler goes to 1B and Frank "Hondo" Howard joins the roster as a DH.

We take a big hit on defense, but we'll hopefully get a huge lift on offense, which is what we need to counteract our sorry-ass bullpen. Let's score enough runs so that it doesn't matter what the bullpen does. It worked for the Nationals (at least, until Game 3).
