Sunday's report


Now, every team but one has fallen, at one point this season, more than 300 points behind the front-running Fresh Fish. Since no team in FBLG history has erased a 300-point deficit, it appears up to the Misfits to keep the heat on the Fresh. Oh, and it's June 18. The Misfits enter Week 12 down by 171 points.

Week 8 scoring summary


The Fresh Fish enjoyed a huge week, which created some separations in the overall standings. The Fish outscored the second-place Misfits by almost 80 points and third-place Halladay Road by a huge 146 points.

And the Fish did basically without a catcher as Miguel Montero missed most of the week with a groin injury, and without an outfielder as Chris Young came off the DL too early.

What they did get was a 45-point week in two huge starts by R.A. Dickey. And a 46-point week from Melky Cabrera.

The Billy Ashley Wind Generator also had a very nice week, which allowed them to jump from eighth place to fourth place.

Meanwhile, the Halladay Road muddled through a 114-point week and are waiting word on the health of namesake Roy Halladay.
