The last two weeks in not so brief

First of all, I'd like to say the Celtics are ridiculously good. Their defense in the 3rd quarter the other night was unbelievable, and Doc Rivers finally used a small lineup of shooters to take advantage of the Laker's lack of a physical big man. It must be an exciting time to be in Boston.

But now on to the baseball. To keep the updates at even intervals, the stats and standings are as of the morning of Friday, June 13. I don't have at bat totals for this week, and I think I'm going to give up on keeping track of them.

As usual, we'll start off with the current standings, and the change in the standings in the last two weeks.

Although the overall standings haven't changed for about a month (at least for the days I'm doing the updates, I missed the brief moment I was in first place), there were big changes in the point totals this week. Spencer has plummeted to below 20, and Luke has fallen out of striking distance from first for the first time since I started keeping track of the stats. The biggest winner of the last two weeks was clearly Andrew, who gained 5 of his 6 points in pitching stats.

Andrew was the big beneficiary of blow ups from my and Caleb's pitching staffs, with each of us gaining a quarter point on our ERAs, and Caleb adding 0.05 to his WHIP, allowing Andrew to gain three points from the overall leaders.
Overall, my offense continued to hit extremely well, leading in R, HR, and RBI, with Manny, Swisher, and David Murphy leading the way. Caleb also had a huge two weeks in stolen bases, swiping 8 more bags than anyone else, however, because my lead was so large to begin with, he wasn't able to gain any points.
Batting average was also a big mover this last week, with Caleb and I gaining points, at the expense of Luke. Unlike the pitching stats, where the change was driven by poor performance, batting average changed because both Caleb and I had big offensive weeks - I added 10 points to my batting average, while he added 9. Here is a chart of batting average for the last two weeks.
