League notes

With a limited schedule Monday and pair of rainouts Tuesday, scoring has been limited this week. Basically, if you've had a pitcher throw -- and throw well -- you're scoring this week. If not, you're not. ... Bad news for Pitch You Blockhead: They are more than 200 points off the lead and it's only Week 4. Good news: They're winning this week.
