(We are skipping the Player stats this week, since only 4 games have been played since the last report....well, the real reason is that they are too depressing to look at...)

Random Fact of Week: Do you remember when we won 18 of 20 games? It was not that long ago; in fact, just before this current horrid stretch where we have now lost 10 of 11 and scored 19 runs total in the 11 games.... I never expected this team to be an offensive juggernaut, but I expected about what they did in the first 3 months of the season: hit for a good average, steal some bases and score enough runs to win some games. From Opening Day until June 30, we hit .265 and averaged 4.04 runs per game. In July (12 G), we are hitting .219 and averaging exactly 2 runs per game....

But as bad as our recent fortunes have been, they are not as bad as the Washington Senators. They have lost 19 in a row! 9 of those losses, including the last 2, have been by 1 run. After starting out 28-24 through April and May, they have gone 7-33 since. They have 10 players currently on the Disabled List, 6 of them on the 60 day and 5 of those not expected to return this season.
