6/4/1902 - Tasting first place

Worst to first - complete. Of course it's still early, and we didn’t reach our World Series goal, but I figured that I'd take a minute to enjoy our success because of two reasons.

Injuries, and more injuries. While Wes Ferrell was injured previously we've been waiting for his diagnosis to come in. The verdict - lost for the season with a torn rotator cuff. I thought we may be able to handle it, but the other shoe dropped, as we lost Jim McCormick (6-2, 1.59 ERA) to injury as well. While his diagnosis is still pending, losing both for an extended period of time would in effect end our chances this season.
