Daily notes

The Arbitration Losers moved into the overall lead after nice games from Troy Tulowitzki and Raul Ibanez. ... Roy Halladay's 20-point game breathes life into Misfits' week. ... Another solid outing for Josh Joshnson (VC Appraisers) still doesn't earn a win. ... Pitch You Blockhead may change name to 'Play' You Blockhead in honor of Ian Stewart.
