Update for Thursday, April 7

• Choppers


• Jumped into first place on the strength of Jeff Weaver's 8 shutout innings agains the the Giants last night. Weaver's victory gave me the first win of the season for a pitcher. The team ERA is down to 3.86. Early season standing fluctuations are the norm. Once the season settles in, it is much tougher to make significant standings moves. It's imperative to stay in the lead pack. First place is always good.


• Postion Players: Only had four players in action. Eveyone got a hit and drove in a run except Mike Piazza. MP is 2-10 this young season; no worries here. Piazza will hit.


• Pitchers: John Lackey got roughed by TEX. Weaver saved the day.

• D-Hacks


• Head-to-Head matchup is now tied at 5-5.


• Sluggish offensive still hurting. Team batting average moved to .232 from .231 Jay Lopez is hitting .100. Must watch Javy. Good news is that opponnet is is now hitting .200. A good weekend could turn things quickly.


• Pitchers continue to please. Jeff Weaver pitches for both teams. His aforementioned outing solidified lead in pitching categories. Shingo Otsuka of (CWS) entered the 9th yesterday with a 3-run lead and gave up 3 home runs to CLE. His ERA for the day was 40.50. And you wonder why some baseball managers are cranky?

I checked my user stats and found that two people were referred to this site from search engines. One person was searching for "ELHS Baseball" on Yahoo! Hope you found what you were looking for--Go Trojans! The other search was for "Lobella Flowers" from another search site. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. May your lobella flourish.

The serendipity of distributed systems is a joy!
