A reversal of fortunes for the Iowa City Liberals as we have climbed all the way up to 5th place with 82 points. (It's a long way to the top, though, as ItsTheLiesStupid leads the way with 116.5.) The pithcing has really come around, but there are still a few weak spots as I try to find a few young arms to fill out the staff. Colby Lewis really didn't happen, and Ryan Vogelsong is one bad outing away from getting the hook. I'm hoping that Kris Benson of the Pirates pitches well against the Mets today, even though I like the Mets. A couple of good pickups have been Nate Robertson of the Tigers and Tom Glavine of the Mets. I'm also hopeful that new acquisitions Willie Harris (White Sox) and Adam Everett (Astros) do well at the plate. I had to bench Derek Jeter due to the Yankees' poor start - never thought that would happen!
The stats are more solid now - I'm tied for the league lead in holds and near the top in ERA and runs scored. The only weaknesses right now are wins and saves, which is why I've been swapping out pitchers. (I also lead the league in roster moves with 17, but it's finally paying off.)
