So it looks like it will be an interesting week. I'm now 1 point behind Caleb, after passing him in ERA (thanks Edwin Jackson!), gaining half a point in WHIP from Spencer and tying then passing Andrew in HR.
I still can make up ground in HR (1 behind Caleb), RBI (2 behind Andrew), WHIP (0.01 behind Andrew - thanks Carmona!), and potentially (although much less likely), saves and wins (both 2 back on Caleb).
My team has been manic depressive all year long. If they can keep up the hot streak all that frustration will be worth it.

I get a little help from the Indians, who have shut Cliff Lee down for the season, although the Royals have done the same with Zach Greinke.
I think it all comes down to who hits more homeruns over the next 4 games.
I have starts left from Halladay, Kazmir, and Shields (though I kinda doubt they'll actually start Shields on the last day of the season, which will almost definitely be meaningless). I haven't seen anywhere that Lee is definitely shut down, but I believe you. It'd be nice to have that last start, but if he's not 100% I'd rather not take the chance against the White Sox.
You have Lester, Lackey, and Meche to go. Meche has been terrible against the Twins this season (15 ER over 18 innings) and Lackey and Lester have both been roughed up by their opponents.
I think I'll keep my ERA lead, but I'm very vulnerable in HRs. Andrew stands to be a big spoiler in HRs (against both of us), RBI, and WHIP. Luke's got 5 starters going still, and could make a run at you in Ks. Unlikely, though.
Blown save for Blobby Jenks. What a jerk.
But now he is in a position to vulture a win, although so is Nathan. A win for either of them could end up tipping the balance one way or the other...
And Jenks blows it, and Nathan vultures a win. Good work Alexei Casilla! And Andrew plays spoiler again.
You passed me in ERA last night, Bill, but the standings didn't change. What am I missing that also changed to keep me on top?
That I passed you in ERA two nights ago (Wednesday), so I already gained that point. Andrew tied me again in HR last night, so I didn't end up gaining any points for the day. It looks like HR and RBI will decide it.
Also, what is the default tie breaker for Yahoo?
