It is a bit funny that while our team is on its best winning streak in the past two years, we have little to say. Is it because we aren't used to it? I doubt it, but this run of 6 in a row is nice to see. When JJ finally gets dealt, Lou will have assembled his team. The problem is that no one could have predicted that the Brewers would have the best record in the National League.
I have come across a few funny notes. First, I wanted to bring up John DeWan's Stat of the Week. The White Sox team OPS last year was 806. This year, so far, it is 670. If this number holds, it will be the greatest one year drop in OPS in baseball history! Not sure exactly how many team seasons have been around, but baseball stats are about 100 years old and there has been between 8 and 30 teams for that duration. So likely they will have the greatest drop in over 1000 seasons played. That is not a small sample size! Can it really just be bad luck?
Also, earlier I posted on how our guy Ryno has been tossed 3 times in the minors. He's now up to 4. I saw this article on the Eastern Sports Network's website:

BudFanCubsFan: I love the article about Ryno, especially the "he fears failure" line from his HOF speech. What a class act he is and what an honor it must be for those young players to be coached by one of the most fundamentally sound players to ever play the game.
