Just 5-5 in the next 10 games, but the Expos have fallen apart, our lead is up to 12 games. They lost Belle after 50 games and they hung in for a while and he just came back, but a really bad 40 game stretch had our lead go from 2 to 12 games.
1st in runs, 1st in runs allowed, 2nd in defense, 1st in home runs has us 74-36 and 5 games better than any other team. We are remarkably healthy, not a single player has been on the DL this year, though our minor leagues teams have an average of 5 players each, they have all been decimated.
Paul Wilson continues to be very good. He won Rookie of the Month the 2nd month running and is now 3rd in the NL in ERA at 2.94 and leads the league in shutouts with 3. Jefferies continues to lead the league in hitting and is up to 3rd in WAR.
We are going to win the division, so I think if we somehow win the World Series, I will retire at the end of the year at age 72.
